I don't know how anybody would know for sure, if it works, or it doesn't. Not without some sort of controlled study. I've used Stabil, also the powdered fuel-stabilizer the US military uses, and also - used nothing.
I just pulled my 1979 Datsun 280ZX out of the barn to see if it will start. Gas in the tank is now 6 years old. I put Stabil into it twice over the years. Started right up and runs fine.
