try to find gas stations without ethanol. my local Citgo has non ethanol gas. BP is supposed to but now they have ethanol gas, bastards....

It doesnt make that much of a difference which one you use, probably run better with straight gas.

doesn't make a difference. the ethanol actually raises the octane. also, all gas sold in the US has some ethanol to help clean up emissions and subsidize our farm industry to grow cellulose plants.
