When you fill up your gas tank, do you dump out any old remaining gas or do you just add more on top of it? What additive do you use or is additive even needed? I have a 2018 Tohatsu 5HP 4 strokes engine. TIA

I just top it off after a couple of trips. I can usually do 3-4 trips out in La Jolla on one tank, but I rather top it off when its around 1/2 tank. No dumping or additive, just 87 octane regular gas. I've checked the distance traveled on trips using my GPS and convert the trail into a course and then my Lowrance will show me how many miles it was. I get over 20 miles/gallon of gas.

Thank you Mark for the info and suggestions. 20/gal is outstanding!
