Adding Sta-bil to tank?

I get between 600 - 900 miles per tank.  My commute to work is 22 miles and on way of that, it's ~15-17 miles of electric.  I was just authorized to plug my car in at work (via a portable charger) into an outlet, which means that I'll get ~15-17 miles of electric on the way home as well.  Running pure gas, I get about 40 miles a gallon.  Ultimately that means I'll fill up about every 2-3 months (rough estimate).  Does anyone else have this problem?  Do you use Sta-Bil in your tank so the gas doesn't gum up?

Read your owner's manual.  The Energi has a pressurized gas tank.  The gas can last up to 18 months before the car will force burn it down to 1/8 of a tank.  The manual does recommend a stabilizer if you are going to go more than a year (I think) without adding gas.  If you are adding gas every couple of months there will not be a problem.  The force burn can be stopped by adding fresh gas.
