Here in Nebraska the good stuff is typically 20 cents higher and worth it. A few years ago the state was going to drop labeling on the pumps so you wouldn’t know what you were getting but luckily that got shot down and you still can read what it supposedly is. Of course if the octane is the same and the price is higher there is a good bet it’s real gas. Most stations therefore have both real and watered down gas but a few don’t have real stuff and we try to always stay away from them. You can get higher octane from them but not sure what that really accomplishes with that stuff! I generally refuse to waste my money on the fake gas on any of our cars new or not. You lose around 10% of your gas mileage with the ethanol crud since it has so much lower energy. We had /got to buy a 100th anniversary dodge last year and when I went to do the first fill-up I was shocked to find that it takes E85 if I was stupid enough to use it. Ought to do it once just to see how horrible the mileage is but not sure I’m up to it. As I write this I’m looking out on a sea of ethanol fields around us!! The plant here in Columbus is one of the largest capacity in the country I understand. At least it is on the other side of town but can still always see the exhaust stacks and on occasion get some smell. At least we still have a choice here!

So now I'm wondering, Dave. How much does a gallon of the stuff without the booze in it sell for compared to the E-10 highball? On Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 5:10 PM, 'David Schwandt' finsruskw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [Chrysler300] <Chrysler300-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: What I meant was…
Lots of the older farm equipment require non ethanol fuel,
Not a problem finding it at all around here, thank goodness!
Plus, it makes all my old Kohlers in Cub Cadets purr like a kitten!!

Wait, what ????!!
The ethanol is mandated by the politicians for the sole purpose of supporting the Iowa corn farmers who support the politicians for supporting mandated ethanol, and the Iowa farmers who grow corn for ethanol get to have plentiful non-E gas for their own use???
You have GOT to be kidding !!!
Can a country secede from itself?

We are lucky here in that we can get non-E gas most anywhere, thanks to the farmers!

Terry and All:
Knock on wood----I have not had the ethanol trouble---at least not yet! A couple weeks ago I started up my 300F for the first time in over a year (ashamed of that!) and took it for a fairly exuberant drive. It started very well with a little gasoline poured in each carb, and ran just fine. I will say that one of my stops on that little excursion was a fill up with NON-ethanol fuel at the local Marathon station. At least I feel better now!
300ly, Gil C.

I just read in Autoweek mag Jay Leno's essay on the evils of ethanol. In my 300F I have been running a mix of 100+ octane leaded aviation gas and pump premium spiked with the normal amount of ethanol. Has anybody in the Club experienced any problems with today's ethanol-infused gas? Jay talks about rubber parts (in fuel pumps, for example) being eaten up and ensuing engine fires. Terry McTaggart
