Adding Miles to the kitten
Did a little 200 mile round trip to the dealer yesterday, I was holding off fueling until I was on final leg to home so I would have over a half full tank by the time I got home.
Well I found out this new radio system will let you know you are low on fuel and suggests it can help you find the nearest gas station. Guess I should have thrown in two gallons of $6.95 per as I first rolled into Gardnerville to tide us over... Have over 500 miles total as of yesterday.

Alcohol free 100 octane...
A little of that every now and then reduces the ethanol slime.

Nothing on the market gets rid of ethanol, the stuff can still phase out into slime from the rest of the fuel.

I see--so using non-ethanol gas 'flushes' things out?

It's about as good as anything on the market.
This is the only station in hundreds of miles that sells ethanol free fuel. In other states you can find it cheaper. Pure gas.org? Is a good tool in locating ethanol free fuel.

Southern States has a location in town that sells non-ethanol fuels. I by the 87 octane for leaf blowers, chainsaws and mowers. About .50 cents more than ethanol, but I'm done with taking float bowls apart and cleaning off the jets/needles to clean out the green slime. I'll have to look and see what the highest octane they have.

Some COUNTRYMARKs have ethanol free premium here. Many stations around ES have it as well. Funny thing is, you get about a 10% improvement in gas mileage with it, so you gotta ask yourself what the hell we are doing with ethanol in our gas anyway besides making the farm lobby happy and our engines sad?
Very little extra $ for it here or in ES...

There's a reason big AG lobbied and received exemption and a reason you find ethanol free gas where farming is prevalent. There's no energy benefit with corn ethanol, might even be a net loss. |

Oh, there IS less energy in an oz, gallon, whatever of ethanol than there is in the same amount of gasoline.
