[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 672438, member: 3828"] Thanks. I may very well do that, just as a course of my winterizing layup procedure. I generally don't stabilize the fuel in fuel injected vehicles since they do such a good job of sealing up the fuel tanks and pressurized rails. But carby vehicles get a shot of Stabil. I'll get a can of seafoam and use that this year instead so I can run a shot through the FJR. One other thing that I could try, though it's probably too late now; ionbeam reminded me that I have a tendency that most of us probably do, and that is of using the same fuel stations habitually. I tend to go for Mobil or Irving stations most often since they are the closest to home. Or maybe it's that I'm attracted to their colorful signs or sumpthing? :blink: A particular brand of fuel will fill all the stations in a given area from the same bulk tanker loads, so they would all change over their fuel mix simultaneously (within a few days). Choosing a different brand, or filling up in a radically different geography, might result in different mileage, thereby proving that the fuel mix is the culprit. Unfortunately, it is now so deep into the fall season, most of the other brands have probably followed suit by now, so I'll have to be patient and just wait for spring to get my mileage back.
