What are some good fuel additives for flex fuel up to about e50? Stabilisers, upper cylinder lube?

Another exciting and interesting Tribology video by LSJr. Edit added to comply with site copywrite and media rules: I like his closing statement about how a 0W20 in different geographic and climatic conditions will effectively be different viscosities over a very broad range. I.E. in Alaska in...
