newer cars, you would think so, but my 2006 is in excellent shape..I let it set for a whole week, but the tank was less than half full...Something happened to the gas,as I was burning about three times as much on my next trip..it ran, but was not peppy..I filled it up and added some injector cleaner, by Berrymans, and it cleared up by the end of the day..ETHANOL is very Hydroscopic, and draws water to it...No BODY with any gumption around here puts it in small engines,Boats, nor...Chainsaws either..
