Very rare here in MN that I need or use Iso or HEET anymore. The ONLY time I use them now is when I suspect fuel line or carb ice is already happening. Then I use them as a "shock" treatment to get rid of the ice, but I also drain the bad fuel or use it up as quickly as possible to eliminate the problem.
BTW, if you have a large quantity of water-contaminated gas that you want to save, the best method is NOT additives. It's running that fuel through a water separator. There are some very good simple funnels out there that you can simply pour wet gas through and remove a large percent of the water. I paid about $60 for a big one once, but it easily paid for itself over the years.
It used to be a real chamois skin in a funnel would be used to soak up water, but the new funnels just use the different densities to leave water in the bottom of the funnel where the pure fuel skims over the top and into "good" container. You have to dump the water out of the funnel about every 5-10 gallons depending or more depending on how bad the contamination is. With a big funnel unit, you can easily do 50 gallons in 15 minutes if you have a good way to drain the fuel from the "bad" tank and enough containers or a drum at your disposal.
