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.
Also pulled my 1971 MGB out. Gas in it is 5 years old and I never added a thing to it. Gas turned color and smells off a bit, but it started. Not as fast as the Datsun, but it's not fuel injected or Japanese either.
I've had many people bring me stuff for repair with real bad gas in it - basically turned to varnish. Some claim it's only a year or two old. So, how do you figure? I know that winter-blend gasoline has a different shelf life than summer blend. Also know that gas is supposed to last longer in an air-tight tank. That being said, I've got many old tractors with very old gas in them, and I rarely find any gas that's so bad, that they won't run.
