I am pretty skeptical that a fuel additive will lubricate the cylinder for off season storage. If it has enough additives in it to properly coat a cylinder I think it would also cause issues with spark plug fouling during normal use. Gas is a solvent, fogging oil is sticky and coats metal. Mixing the two defeats the purpose.
We had a major Sea Foam discussion last Fall; it does the job. Sea Foam actually coats the engine parts with a protective film; the video showed a burn test, etc. Also, running Sea Foam in the gas reaches the entire fuel system. Even if you fog, you should run the stuff. It's literally amazing what is does for our chain saws, augers, and other equipment.
Yes on the Deep Creep. One advantage; when I start next Spring, it will be immediate and no huge cloud of smoke. I also will not have to replace my plugs, which I usually have to do after using fogging oil.
