I found a little place over Labor Day that sold Ethonol free gas and tried it out. I did not necessarily see a huge difference. Anyone have any problems from non-ethonol free gas? Never really thought it was a huge problem, just pick it up when I see it available.

Have a place a few miles down the road that sells ethanol free but you usually have to wait. I'm going to start running that in my lawn equipment, but don't want to make a major production out of gassing up the bike and car. I'll just get the ethanol gas and use the marine stabil and hope for the best.

Here we go again in my truck it gets better mileage 89 ethonal than the 87 regular and is cheaper. I have a 110 gallon tank in my back shed just refilled it it lasted 13 months I use that ethonal gas in my mowers, washer, fork truck ect. no problems and have never used staybil or anything else. I just started my power washer to wash the deck first time this year started 2nd pull.
Next the guy's will be on here about shorting our food supply. Yea, there's a big corn shortage around here, Must be why the government is still paying the farmers for set aside acres so they won't grow anymore. Sorry for the rant, but this topic has gotten old to me.

Ok, I will shut up now.

Is that a U.S. or Imperial gallon?

I'll be filling up there next ride to see how the SG does.

Well since for most of us there isn't an ethanol free station near us, here is some stuff that I use in the boat and jet skis. It works really well and havn't had any problems. The boat is a 94' King Fisher bass boat with a 250 HP Yamaha. Have not had a single problem with the fuel system since using this stuff.
