Whatever the manual calls for, except when it will sit for a long time, then I put in gas with no alcohol. Alcohol is crap. I have had the insides of my fuel lines disintegrate on older motors, with chunks breaking off and covering the inlet to the carbs. The older lines were not designed to handle that crap and they won't. Newer motors seem to be a different story. I haven't had any problems with my 2008 or 2010 motors yet, but I run stabilizer whenever I fill with crap gas and have to leave the boat sit for weeks. Just don't let the crap gas sit there unless the tank is full or you are using it fast. I've seen jars of crap gas my marine dealer pulled out of people's boats after as little as two weeks and it had seperated into layers of different colors and viscosities. Suck the high water content fraction into your injectors and you are asking for big trouble according to factory advice.
