I haven't been able to find the star from stuff but have seen the state billion. But at $10 for an 18 oz bottle id have to use the whole thing in one tank. No thanks ill stick to my $3 stp ethanol treatment lol

At $8 for a bottle of Star Tron that treats 128 gallons, we are talking adding what about a buck an a half per FULL tankful. For the extra 2 mpg I'm seeing out of it, that's a no brainer for me even without any other benefits...

Well over 20,000 posts on this damn site.... It's about time somebody listened to me about something...
ALL my gas gets this stuff. Truck gets 2 mpg better, about the same as when I could get 100% (non-ethanol) gas and the Jeep is closer to 3. Both idle and run a lot smoother. My seldom used gas engines never have carb problems anymore nor do I have to replace primer bulbs or fuel lines. My CanAm ATV runs smoother, starts easier and top speed floored is up about 5 mph (although to be fair, it's up at the farm and I lost almost 60 lbs. between trips up there and the addition of Star Tron to it). The stuff is also a 2 year gas stabilizer as well.
NO I don't work for them, matter of fact I don't work, got laid off the day after Thanksgiving, so I need every MPG I can get, LOL...

If I were you, and I ain't, but if I were I'd run a bottles worth of startron, and then run the ethanol free stuff.. it will clean up everything the ethanol touches, and then, there being no ethanol in the system, you won't suffer the side effects of the stuff..

Sounds good, will also put some in the motorcycle and try to run a gallon or 2 thru it while off of work during X-mas and New Year shutdown.... If the temps stay decent...

I picked up two bottles of this star stuff today because of all this yapping about its benefits. But my truck has been down for a week or so because I haven't been in a hurry to finish what I was doing to it. To top it off that the truck has been down, it also has almost a full tank of ethanol-laced gas in it. I wonder if the stuff would mix well enough if I added 2.5 ounces and drove down a bumpy road.
