There's quite a lot of reading about fuel stabilisers on the net, general opinion seems to be that they do have some effect but most info is anecdotal rather than scientific. If it was really effective why don't the fuel company's put it in at source which would only add a fraction of a penny to the cost.

Not after 3 weeks admittedly but certainly after a couple of months, my accelerator pump jets became blocked and when I drained the fuel bowls the fuel was honey coloured rather than clear (system was clean), the bike also didn't want to start, I added new fuel and it fired up immediately.
I'm pretty sure that the blockage in the accelerator jets was congealed fuel, it cleared really easily with a squirt of carb cleaner.
Why don't fuel companies add it?, well they add detergents etc but where do they stop?, I guess it's not their problem if we leave fuel hanging around for months.
