10% Ethanol vs. Ethanol Free Gas

SeattleLion · 11-26-2012, 04:43 PM

Just thought I would chime in. I have been using 92 octang ethanol free gas for over 2 years. My Z got from 1 to 3 extra mpg without the ethanol. Also ethanol-free gas stores better as well. This is important for my emergency generator and lawn tractor. I am a total convert to non-ethanol gas. I have had no problem with water in my gas line or tank, btw.

I'm all for ethanol free gas, it's so much better, there was a reason gas suppliers didn't put it in themselves till the government (tax payers) subsidized it and states required it. It's more expensive, needs more of it to go the same distance, absorbs water, and breaks down rubber parts. Unfortunately it doesn't exist in the NY/NJ area.
