No Ethanol Gas

Post by Lighterknot »

Been after My fishin pardner for sometime now to try to find non-Ethanol fuel.
well, after he had some issues with his own boat he finally located pure unleaded. 0 % Ethanol.
its at the same price as other stations. check em out at Grubbs Petroleum in Monticello.
on East Pearl st. its located at the NAPA /Chevron Dealer. With Chevron card can fuel up 24/7.
Filled up my truck last week and it changed the way it ran ten fold..
now what to do with that left over ethanol in my boats.????

Costco :thumbup: - no-ethanol gas at a good price, good groceries, heck even good liquor store if you're so inclined... all in one spot. Not a much of a drinker myself (at least not these days) but they do have their Christmas liquor-filled chocolate mini-bottles on sale right now and they do put me in the celebratory mood :beer: :smt007 :wink:

The convenience store at the corner of US 319/SR 267 Bloxham Cutoff in Wakulla Co. Prices are fairly competitive.

Ethanol is a huge joke...

The extra power and energy it takes to produce one gallon of ethanol gas is almost the same as using 100% gas.

Secondly, your vehicle gets about 8-10% WORSE mileage on ethanol. (I tested my own truck, 8% less)

Not to mention what it will cost in repair bills for water problems.

But, it gives tree huggers a warm fuzzy feeling inside, so we are stuck with it.

I would like to give some of them tree huggers a warm and fuzzy feeling of a different kind. I have been fixin cars for a long time and have never seen so many fuel related problems as in the past 2-3 years since ethanol has come into our tanks. Alcohol makes a pretty good fuel for lots of things, but cars aint one of them.

There is no E85 planed for our area any time soon. There is not suppose to be any Ethanol at any BP station within at least 150 miles of Bainbridge. There are others that don’t have it as well. Others may have it one day and not the next it just depends on which product is cheaper for that day.
