You may be the most recent guy to learn that cheap gas isn't - but you won't be the last.
If you run non-ethanol gas in all your small engines, everything else is icing on the cake. Sta-Bil and Sea Foam are both excellent if you have to store gas, but the smartest thing is to just use any leftovers and buy fresh in the Spring.
I don't run my 50-hp Merc dry for the winter because I don't have access to cooling water at the storage unit. Non-eth and Sea Foam see me through the winter just fine. I do fill the tank and close the vent to keep condensation to a minimum.
My only other small engines are a snow blower and a small generator. I empty their tanks and run them dry for storage.
