I keep a full tank over the winter and have never had any issues with the gas going bad or separating. I also treat every tankful with the green/ethanol Stabil stuff.

I also have an Evinrude e-tec. My service guy said that these engines are very forgiving of e-10. But if we go to e-15, we're screwed.

Well get ready for the screwing then...I know about a TV commercial recently produced at the Charlotte Motor Speedway featuring a well known NASCAR driver...the whole premise of the ad was to introduce E-15...brace yourself...it's coming...
