If you had an 86 would you add stabiliser or 2T to your car.
Would you leave it alone and let it self destruct under warranty?
Will Toyota/Subaru not honour warranty claims, instead referring claims to the fuel companies?
Refineries use to add stabilizers. Lead is a fuel stabilizer, when they went from lead the used something else that was very bad for us humans and easily leached in to the ground table. then they decided to go to ethanol.

The downside to ethanol is that is attracts H2O and isn't very energy efficient.
