Not really, unless you consider the false confidence it gives you. I used to use it every winter; I even still have several bottles of it on the shelf. I just found that the gas that evaporated in the carb float bowls left a nasty residue, Stabil or not, and I got sick of cleaning carbs every spring.
The gas we have today is crap. I wouldn't store it for more than 30 days. Race gas lasts much longer, certainly long enough to last a winter.
I figure that if there's no gas in something, it can't evaporate and cause me any problems. I don't get tank rust, as my garage is heated and very dry.
