try to buy fuel
without ethanol.
Here in SWFL I can get non-ethanol gas delivered to the house by one
of the local fuel dealers, 50 gallon minimum.
I've heard that you can get it up here too, but so far, no distributor
wil admit to selling it.


Nobody, here, will admit to *what* they are selling.... and the
lawmakers like it that way because they fear people will shy away from
ethanol if they know it is there.


I predict that the first airplane that goes down on somebody's house
because the wasn't any disclosure that the mogas, was in reality E85,
is going to change a lot of things.


I was in Chattanooga for the weekend, an independent type gas station
was advertising non-ethenol gasoline.


I am guessing (speculating?) that the amount of fuel that has been
dumped due to being contaminated with water from having ethanol
exceeds the amount of fuel saved by using ethanol.
