I used to back before they put ethanol in the gas in my area. Now it's kind of redundant, the ethanol takes care of any water that gets in the gas.

I still buy it for my Trangia alchohol camping stove. The yellow bottle is pure methanol and 1 bottle is good for about 3 hot meals.

I don't really think it's necessary at all. Even up here in Canada.

Using a lower viscosity grade engine oil will also help if you're car has trouble starting in cold weather.
