What is the prescribed fuel for a 2005 Merc Tracker 60 HP Two stroke ? It

re
selling.
BTW: I don't have the boat/motor here yet, its coming up from Florida next
month so I can't RTFM
BTW2: Reg Unl here is sold in liters (think Quarts) @ $ 140.9 That's
working out to $ 5.32 gallon and a NEW tax kicks in that should push
it up to $ 5.40..SWMBO says its up to 145.9 today, thats $ 5.51 US gallon
OUCH !

When I had my Bayliner 2350 back in the 80's, "Marine gas" was Regular
LEADED gas and was about 15
cents/Gal cheaper (72 cents) than "road" gas because there were no
"Highway"
taxes on it.Do they still sell "marked gas" (No/Low tax) for farm/off road
purposes ? Is it UNLEADED ?
Will that work in a two stroke (if I could find any)?

Where the heck are you?

Uranus?

Brown 25? (Obscure cultural reference)

Some place off planet for leaded gas, or at least a 3rd world
country.

Obviously.

Speaking of ethanol, did you see that news report on the subsidies the
agricultural sector is getting for ethanol production?

It's unreal.

We're being held hostage to the farmers.

Did not see the report, but is one of the reason ADM has always beenone of
the biggest political money suppliers.
