Fuel & Storage Question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am storing in a heated garage this winter for 6 months. I regularly use Top Tier 93 octane 10% ethanol fuel. However, I gather that non-ethanol is better and more stable for long term storage.

The manual says 91 fuel is required, 93 recommended for top performance. My question is: if I use 91 non-ethanol plus fuel stabilizer, which, from what I've read, lowers octane (Seafoam or Stabil), will I have any troubles starting in the spring?

Thanks

Mine is already stored away for the seventh time with non ethanol gas and stabil. Every spring it starts up like it did the first day I had her. I store it for six to seven months and all is good.
