That is about what I do. I try to put the Stabil in the 2 5 gallon gas tanks I usually fill up at a time with the ethanol free gas before I leave the house. That should really mix it up as the gas goes in the cans. I have 3 of the 5 gallon cans so when 2 of the get empty I fill them up. Summer time is not too bad as I use about 2 or 3 gallons per week. However I may go from November to March or so and not use any. I do like to have atleast 10 or more gallons round for the small generator incase the power goes out in the winter. It seldom does, but one never knows.
Sofar all the small engines start up on the 'old gas'. Best starting engine I have is the tiller. I usually just run it once or twice in the spring or late winter to get a small garden ready. Then I let it run all the way out of gas. For the last 10 years it will start on one or at the most 2 pulls of the starting rope. That is with a fresh fill up of the 4 month old gas.
