The single local station that carries it has upped the price from $2.29 to $2.69/gal. in past week. $0.30/gal more than ethanol gas.

My 4 Wheeler mechanic told me to use non ethanol gas, as that stuff was starting to work on the rubber parts of the carburetor.
You can get on line and find stations that sell non-ethanol gas. We have a couple of sources here locally. All my small engines get pure gas.

1400.00 worth of damage. Be carefull I'd love to hear that story. Arab's Bought a place close to Texoma. They got busted for doing this. I didn't know until I started having problem with the boat. Total fuel system rebuild. Got to buy a new leaf blower out of the deal also. Know I put the additive in everything even if they say 100% other than vehicle's. Somebody needs kicked in the nuts every morning for putting the Ethanol stuff out.

It is illegal to sell 100LL avgas for other than aircraft use, due to the lead content. Farmers that grow corn for ethanol production should be required to use only pure ethanol, and not be allowed to buy food containing or fed on corn. Ethanol fuel has doubled the price of fuel for small aircraft, resulting in fewer students and reduced safety due to less competency flying. Less flight hours also raises the per hour cost due to fixed maintenance requirements.

So I'm buying av gas in 5 gallon cans for my 0540 lycoming on my airboat....
We put an additive in ours, startron comes to mind, in a blue bottle.
Seafoam has not provided enough protection. Nor has stabil, but maybe marine stabil might... have not tried it enough to know.
When I need something without ethanol in it for sure, I go get AV gas and the higher octane is a plus too.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

They were made to shut down the plant a few years ago.
The corporate office didn't like them making it with real sugar.
Used to get 4 or 5 cases when going thru.
