After 77 years i will not use fuel treatments. Run the tank dry on all small power equipment and buy high test to run for all! As far as car goes and at todays prices siphon off at the begining of the season and use in your least worthy car!

Ethanol free is too expensive to even bother around here. It was $10 back before the Biden increase. I should go look now, its probably closer to $15 I would guess.
I dont understand why we are still using it in this country

Ethanol is hygroscopic. Definition:
A substance able to absorb moisture from surrounding areas.
So ethanol literally sucks...

I **** tailed my 1993 gas a mix of non ETHANOL! ( i ASSUMED MOBIL 1 93 OCTANE WAS ETHANOL FREE) I did it a gallon of the stale gas with my other cars. The 77 Corvette started quicker and had a ton of more *****. the other vehicle ran okay and showed no change of performance even though it always was filled with off brands 93 octane. I will not mix it in my Lexus for i do not need a problem with my wife car. So far **** tailing has been fine. A not i used some to clean some paint brushes and this cleaned the brushes with one dip of the brush!
