Because unless you go to the trouble to find, and expense to buy, ethanol free gasoline, the gas has other failings. The ethanol in gasoline is very hygroscopic. It actually attracts moisture out of the atmosphere. Over time, a problematic amount of water can accumulate. The additives also help with moisture in the gas.
This would be a case for using Seafoam in ethanol free gas as it doesn't have alcohol in it and is not hygroscopic. E10 will absorb more water and cause you less problems due to water in fuel than non-ethanol, with no alcohol additives.
Preserving fuel quality = slowing down oxidation. Fuel stabilizer is like your fuel eating blueberries, lol. It's an antioxidant.
It also puts water into solution with the fuel so it can be burned (like Heet, or.....ethanol containing gasoline).
What any of this has to do with Honda's new generator is a rv.net mystery....
The real mystery is why Honda did not consider a LP fuel option?
