Most of the guys that buy and sell small engines are making a living off folks who use ethanol.
While this sounds great, as does the post after yours about finding non-ethanol gas stations, I searched and it's next to impossible to find a station that sells plain gas anymore. If only 4 in my entire city sell pure gasoline, I find it hard to believe they'll continue to do so within a couple years. Are there any additives at all that you know of for cars to combat these effects? I'm going to be quite unhappy if I have expensive furl system repairs on my 92 500. I'd rather be safe than sorry. I remember years ago, my uncle used to run lead additive in his 60s cars since the only gas you could find was unleaded.
