It should be illegal to use ethanol as a motor vehicle fuel

Well Greg I guess all you had on the subject was "I know this guy who dated this chick who had once talked to a guy...". Feel free to exit now and continue you frantic search for non blended fuel.

Over the last 15+ years (if I remember correct) I've learned to worry about something else as I've never had an issue on anything ranging from old 1980's motorcycles and cars on up (generators, chain saws, trimmers, ext. along the way as well). But hey, take the word of someone who has a vested interest in selling you their product over people who have actually used the products for over a decade. Just my .02
