I personally have no experience though I'm going to start using it.
From my Googling I've found that there have been lost of consumer testing.

As for leaving gas in your car:
This comes from the ethanol content as it absorbs moisture (water) and ruins the gas.
Torco won't help.
Boostane acts as a stabilizer by neutralizing the effects of ethanol water absorption.
Race Gas often has zero ethanol and has a longer shelf life than regular pump gas.
I've been told by many people that leaving high octane leaded race gas in your car is a bad idea between seasons, etc. They recommend draining the tank or end up with weird residue--I'm not referring to E85, this is high octane petroloeum like C16. Never tested this myself, and maybe these numerous people were all wrong. Lots of misinformation out there.
