Re: Any benefit to non-ethanol gas?

I use non ethanol in all my old cars and in all my yard equipment. Been doing it for 4 or 5 years now and I no longer have problems with carbs and such. I can even leave fuel in the log splitter over the winter and it starts right up in spring.

MTBE was banned because if the gas station tanks leaked it was poisoning the ground. Worked in a gas station late 70s where they had to take all the dirt and run it through a portable incinerator to get that crap out. Now they just let the dirt sit exposed to the air and everything evaporates out.

The only people that ethonal helps is the corn industry. I seem to remember that it takes about 10 gallons of water to make one gallon on ethanol for fermentation and distilling just like whiskey but at least we can drink whiskey
