Personally, I use StarTron. I have had excellent results, as have lots of folks with StaBil. Let's just say both products are of equal quality and perform the same function. The next factor becomes cost. Why pay more for a product that performs the exact same function as one that costs much less, and I mean MUCH less.
Both come in an 8 oz bottle. Both cost about $8.00 per bottle or $1.00 per ounce. According to each manufacturers' web site: StarTron treats 16 gallons of ethanol blended fuel with 1 oz. for $1.00. Marine StaBil treats 2.5 gallons of ethanol blended fuel with 1 oz. for $1.00. StarTron, at 1 oz/16 gal will stabilize fuel for 2 years. StaBil at 2 oz./2.5 gal will stabilize fuel for 2 years. ACCORDING TO EACH MANUFACTURERS' SITE, StarTron will treat 6.4 times more fuel than Marine Stabil for the same price, and preserve the fuel twice as long. YOU decide.
This from StaBil's site:
Q: How much STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer should I add to fuel?
A: One ounce (30mL) of STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer for every 2 ½ gallons (9.5 L) of gasoline, gasoline/oil mixtures, or ethanol blends is the recommended dosage level.
Q: How long will STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer keep fuel fresh?
A: For 12 months when mixed into fresh gasoline. Doubling the dosage will keep fuel fresh for up to 2 years.*
From StarTron's site:
Q: How much Star tron should I use in gasoline or diesel fuel?
A: With the Star tron Gasoline formula, add 1 fl. oz. for every 16 gallons of gas. In diesel application, add 1 fl. oz. of Star tron Diesel Additive for every 32 gallons of diesel fuel.
Star Tron® breaks down and safely disperses gum, sludge and varnish, and it outperforms conventional chemical-based gas stabilizers because in addition to slowing the aging of fuel (gasoline and diesel fuel can be stabilized for up to two years),
