With fuel Prices going down ($2.75 for regular here in Rhode Island) and knowing that they are sure to go up by springtime, is there any reason I can't fill up my MH now and keep close to a full tank ...

Is there any problem with using the green "marine" Stabil, or should one stick with the red "regular" formula? The marine one is quite a bit less expensive ...
The info from the GoldEagle Stabil FAQS reads as follows for Regular vs Marine Stabil:
"What is the difference between STA-BIl Fuel Stabilizer, Marine Formula STA-BIL, and the new STA-BIL Ethanol Treatment products?
STA-BIL® Fuel Stabilizer is designed for use during STORAGE of any gasoline equipment or vehicle stored for 30 days or more, or used infrequently. It will keep gas fresh for 12 months, and help prevent corrosion, and gum and varnish formation. It is effective in all gasolines, including Ethanol blends, including E-85.
Marine Formula STA-BIL® Ethanol Treatment was designed for use at every fill up for marine engines (boats, jetskis) to protect against the damaging effects experienced when using Ethanol blended fuels -- including corrosion caused by water attraction, and fuel system plugging caused by deposit loosening.
New STA-BIL Ethanol Treatment is designed for use at every fill up for all gasoline automotive and small engines for protection against these same problems."
I use the Red regular Stabil exclusively in our stored vehicles/generators. Recently used our Honda EU3000IS generator during a power outage with 8 month old Stabil preserved gas and it started right up and ran fine. I also drain the Honda gen carburetor after each use.
