In the world of Ethanol and E-85, I've been concerned about the use
thereof in 2 cycle outboards, which though I don't have one at the
moment, I'm more concerned for my weed-eaters and chainsaws.

Now the station down the street from me has a dedicated pump for 100%
petroleum gasoline with no alcohol.It costs about .20c. more per
gallon, but at least it's available locally. And that's really good
to know seeing fall and winter is coming up. When you cut up about 10
+ car trailer loads of wood, it's comforting to know that I would be
burning up a $1000.00 Stihl or Dolmar chainsaw.

And seeing I got rid of my pontoon, I've got my eyes set on a good
sized Jon boat for running the Wabash river, that is. *IF* It ever
gets enough water in it to float a boat. LOL!

So, how much IS 20c more per gallon?

$3,45 U.S compared to $3.24 (today)

Wayne and Harry just got through telling me the ethanol scare is a
scam.

Really? I didn't tell you that. I said *I* haven't had ethanol-related
problems with my various gasoline engines.
