Default More ethanol problems

I am somewhat skeptical of this whole issue because it seems to be the
answer to all unknown motor problems. You'd think that if this was a
serious problem for boats that it might be a problem for cars as
well. Yet, nobody seems to have reported bad gas for their cars from
this station.


The problem is storage - you go through more gas by volume over time
with a car than you do with a boat. I run through about 75 gallons a
month over the summer with the Ranger for example, but I use at least
double that in my truck. You also add it in smaller volume in
cars/trucks than you do with a boat.
