    Non ethanol fuel..

    Anybody running this? These days its hard to find gas without the ethanol but I found a station by my house and there are a few around WA. After my first tank I've gained almost a 2 mpg average. Just wanted to see who else has looked into this..

              Yes that's where I found my station too. Sorry lol. Meant to get back and post that earlier.

              Earlier engines and fuel systems weren't designed for the crap ethanol. Its so hard on them. I know it reduces emissions but everyone I talk to says they get better milage. I've experienced it now too.

              The question I would ask the government is this.. if it makes less emissions in cars but then is less efficient and takes more to get somewhere then how is that a good thing? Seems like a wash to me..

                I run non-ethanol exclusively unless I have to fuel up out of town. Thanks for the link djjerme! Here's the OR one:

                Pure-gas.org is the definitive web site listing stations that sell pure gasoline in the U.S. and Canada.
