Gas is better? LOL!!

You would get 25% better gas mileage if you ran real gas, not that gasahol junk. And, your equipment would last longer. Believe that leftist lie if you want, but more energy is used when gasahol is substituted for real gasoline.

All anecdotal evidence aside, planned obsolesce is real. It is 5 years for appliances, and 7 years for consumer vehicles. There are hard industry stats to back this up, refer to British court rulings on this, as they have draconian warranty laws compared to the US.

And I do have a 40 year old truck with over 1/2 million miles on it, but that doesn’t mean an average vehicle today will last even a fraction of that.

Most people run 10% ethanol. You lose about 3% for your mileage.

Cars to hundreds of thousands of miles on 10% alcohol. My lawnmower is on year ten.
