10% Ethanol vs. Ethanol Free Gas

bvl · 11-25-2012, 07:07 AM

Go with the octane for the car. The reason we have 10% here in the US is the gov and the ridiculous corn subsidies the american public was duped into paying for all these years.

Its cost the citizens billions and we continue to slurp it up because we have to.

10% fuel sucks for anyone with a carb (many motorcycles, small equipment) as it does gum up the carbs when sitting. They didn't seem to mention that nor consider it when they moved to have us all use 10% did they?

I have *one* station within 100 miles here in eastern PA that sells ethanol free 87 and 100 race fuel..so at least now I can get some 87 for the motorcycle, lawnmower etc...
