I GOT YOUR BOOP-BOOP-A-DOOP BABY!

And I bet you paid the same price for the mix as you would have for the regular! Both my SUV and Motorcycle runs like BLEEP! Everyone I know is asking these very same questions and are complaining about it! And here we were all told it would lower the price of gas...NOT! This mixture is failing through price, performance, mileage, and is causing vehicle problems and may even cause costly damages to boot!

Interestingly enough it was only 2 years ago when we had cut gas, that had similar solvent properties and energy output as ethanol. With the exception that MTBE is a carcinogenic thats readily absorbed by ground water. The prices went up when MTBE was banned and ethanol couldn't meet the demand, so we started finding shortages in importation and refining capabilities and the price went up before it could be added. Rough numbers some 40 million more barrels of gas per day we used after MTBE was banned. In Florida we could have had anywhere from 2- 15% cut gas, but it wasn't required by law to tell us. realistically numbers I found are around 3-8% we had.

Not to mention that Ethanol
like other alcohol or methanol
based liquids have hygroscopic
properties meaning that they
attract lots of moisture if not
100% COMPLETELY SEALED AND stored in a
DRY PLACE!

This perfect condition can't exist here in FL
as we are way too humid. In aviation
it is advised to always top the tanks
after flying to keep the moisture
content low in the tanks. 100 Octane Low Lead
aviation fuel has about 25% alcohol and
can be deadly if sumps are not checked for water before every flight.

It's also such a shame that our government learns nothing from past poo-poos
like Gasahol! Yes, my nice little SUV which
ran like a charm now runs like shite also!

It appears that the big guys are adding ethanol and some of the independents are too.
It has been going on in the midwest for years and the mileage stinks when you use it.
Best thing is to not buy the ethanol and maybe then those jerks who decided to use it will get the message but I doubt if many drivers will care as long as they can fillup since few will even look to see if ethanlol is being added
The mention of ethanol is on the pumps but how can the average driver know what it really means just another market for someone to make a profit at the drivers expense.
Like all the pollution control gimmicks on todays cars they add to the cost and create much inconvenienc when maintenance is needed.
Special tools needed to do anything even changing your own oil is a hassle.
Many are too lazy to do any kind of work on their cars too busy with other personal agendas.

ME TOO!!
MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DIFERENT STATION BUT I DID SEE ONE LAST WEEK.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN A SHELL STATION.
COULD HAVE BEEN A RACE TRACK TOO.
WILL GET BACK TO IT LATER.

It has already ruined one set of tanks in my boat..it eats the lining..and I am still waiting to get my motor fixed.Ate up seals and washed the oil off parts that NEEDED oil...I would (and did) park the hog until they switch back.Even my mower hates it, and it'll almost burn anything,even stale!

Bascially, ethanol burns faster, so the gas with ethanol mixed in burns faster than the gas without ethanol, so you have to buy more of the ethanol stuff to get to the same place that would take less of the non ethanol stuff.
