Rarely drive my 2010 RX350. What kind of Gas stabilizer?

[Ginnie]

What is the BEST gas stabilizer since my 2010 has 72,000 original miles? THANKS!

[dcfish]

None, No additives at all, Just burn Premium  :)

Gas stabilizers are typically used when your vehicle will not be driven for extended periods of time (3 months or more).

If I store my car I have a Full tank for sure  😉 No additives here ever.

This car does sit in the garage without being driven with a full tank of premium but I was told that the gas now days can go bad and cause problems with the engine if not driven several months at a time. Hopefully someone will be able to unravel this. Thank you!

 

Thank you everyone for the responses. I have located gas stations that don't use Ethanol and I will do that from now on.  If I didn't like this vehicle so much, I would have bought a new model... This is the longest I've ever owned a car and I've had several Lexus models.  Maybe it's just my age...

Thanks for all the input. It was very much appreciated!

Use motor Purr gas treatment, or Mechanic in a Bottle. the mech in a bottle has worked very well for me. My GSXR sometimes sits for a month or 2 and it's GUARANTEED, to plug up the idle jets  every time. In the past, I've always had to take apart carbs to clean them out. I tried this *BLEEP* in the gas for like 10  minutes and it cleared it up 100%. Ran like a fresh rebuild on the carbs. I had a buddy try it out on his F.I. bike and he also noticed a difference. i highly recommend it, if you're gonna add something.

You may want to buy ethanol free gas, aka pure gas or real gas.  Download the “pure gas” app to find a station near you that sells ethanol free gas, which is more stable and has less water content than the gas u find at most stations that have up to 15% ethanol.

^^^ Yes Premium Gas ^^^ No ethanol the higher the octane the better.

We've had our RX400h for over 18 years, so I understand your being attached to it. The longest I've owned any vehicle was almost 22 years. I bought a used 1968 Corvette convertible when I was 21 and didn't sell it until I was 43.
