Filled up the car with gas yesterday. Local station that also runs delivery trucks had a letter on the counter for any customers. Basically it says that there are going to be "new" fuel blends at the pumps due to new rules.
Current blends at the pumps, cheapest to highest.
89 Octane 10% ethanol 87 octane zero ethanol 91 octane Premium zero ethanol
New blends: 87 octane 10% ethanol 89 octane 10% ethanol 91 premium zero ethanol
The problem is that I usually run the 87 in the car and larger small engines. 91 octane in the small two cycle engines (chainsaw, weed eater, etc.)
So to get away from the (junk) ethanol I would have to buy the 91 octane premium that is currently 40 cents higher per gallon. The old 87 octane was just 10 cents higher.
I am sick and tired of the tree huggers and the corn ethanol business TELLING me what I want to buy. If you want ethanol BUY all of it you can/want.
I personally dislike an inferior product that causes problems in the motors/engines that we are forced to use it in. I get to repair too many gas engines that have fuel issues caused by ethanol. My car gets much lower fuel mileage with the ethanol blended fuel is it. (28-30 no ethanol and 23-25 with ethanol) So how is that creating lower emissions when you have to burn more fuel to get the same work done???
Have any of the rest of you guys heard of this??? Is it state or Federal rules that have changed???
I guess I will just have to keep getting rid of more gas motors. I am not going to fool with junk/ethanol fuel issues anymore than I have too.
