I was thinking of writing something about winterizing a bike vs. keeping it running throughout the winter when, while I was thinking about fuel and stabilizers, I started to think about how I'm not using the car all that often, and much less for a motorcycle in the winter. I'm read that unused gas in your gas tank starts to go stale apparently after 30 days. It's not that it's not usable anymore but it will decrease fuel efficiency and I'm guessing because of deposits stale gas creates, it's probably not a good thing long term for the engine. Gas in my car tank has been sitting in there for at least a month now and I haven't used it up yet. The same goes for the gas in my motorcycle. I don't drive/ride enough and will certainly not drive/ride more just because I want to keep the gas from going stale. The situation has gotten worse since I've bought a car as I'm splitting my time between the car and the bike. I should maybe half-fill the tank instead of filling them up fully, eh.
