Bill, you could get good gas then...This crap won't hardly burn.



I've had no problems with "ethanolized" fuel in cars, trucks, four stroke
outboards, four stroke lawnmower and lawn tractor, two cycle chain saw or
grass trimmer. The vehicles, outboards and lawn tractor have
user-changeable fuel filters. Usually, I run the chain saw and trimmer
until they run dry.



Paper fuel filters do nothing for ethanol, expert.

I know the old gas got about 10% more mileage than the new stuff. But,
damn, all that computerized fuel injection and separate coil for each
cylinder, should get a lot more mileage than a high performance 1964 carbed
engine.
