ethanol free?

If U cannot get non-ethanol, think Stabil fuel additive

Star Tron works pretty good too

If non-ethanol was illegal to use (in Wisconsin), pretty sure it would be posted as such. Like they do with E-15...

A lot of stations have E-Free premium in WI. I have no trouble sourcing it for my bass boat for the 6 weeks I spend up there every summer.

gee whiz, been using fuel with 10% ethanol for 35 years and never had an issue. There's a lot of interweb hype on ethanol fuel which seems more theoretical than real-world. Maybe water is more of a problem in southern humid areas (??)..

Brazil has ONLY 100% Ethanol... has for years... and it sure as heck is humid there!

10% ethanol isn't a problem - except for small engines and storage.

I object to forced usage of 15% and 85% ethanol, which MN state legislature is being bribed by the agribusiness lobby to legislate.

I object to forced

I get the feeling that the fuel objectively doesn't matter and your real position is to oppose regulation. I don't want this to be a point of argument just conversation on-topic. If somebody had been selling you E15 from a hose labeled 100% Petroleum for the past five years you would never have noticed.
This matters because the physics of combustion are inherently neither opinion nor politic.

You've ostracized my comment with direct experience on storage capability a number of times. Suggest you migrate and remain at BITOG with your condescending and confrontational attitude.

I don't appreciate being called a liar. You're blocked.

I feel like I learned everything I need to know from this exchange.

Guys, knock it off.

Look at the posts.

I haven't subscribed to SAE Research Papers since retiring in 2016, so will have to rely on intermediate journals to pass along information, with certain members questioning my credentials for some reason.

"On the other hand, organic-based Ethanol can lose its combustibility in just one to three months due to oxidation and evaporation."

Actually, phase separation was more of a problem from our work experiences, but still. Our experience was more like 4-6 months storage max. It was critical at work because develop and data testing had to use benchmark fresh fuels.

the ignore feature makes this forum much more enjoyable. Occasionally I look at a post from a poster I have previously blocked and realize why I blocked them in the first place.

Damn that’s some low MPGs LOL

I don't own anything that's MPG friendly lol

Same (other than the wife’s rav 4 LOL) Tahoe is getting about 10 or 11 mpg max during the winter currently. Always had ‘gas guzzlers’. The new ram is getting 13.
