It is not just about cars:

I have a couple of 60+ year old tractors, various dirt bikes for the kids, a variety of lawn mowers, chain saws, and weed wackers. All of these are being destroyed by the crap that they sell as "gasoline".

My circa 1954 Massey-Harris Pacer was produced in very small numbers. Replacement parts are simply not available. The engine was made by Continental: A company that has been out of business for 40 or 50 years.

Ethanol is costing us our history by destroying vintage cars and machines.

Local airport J Earl might be your answer. 100LL and "Mechanic in a Bottle" works for me in the lawnmower.

Hold tight, a 91 octane and a higher octane non-leaded Gen Av fuel is being rolled out ( Swift Fuels ), but availability is spotty at the moment.

Agreed. I have a ‘72 Honda 750 a ‘84 BMW R100 and a ‘97 BMW R11OORT. Supposedly the ‘97 is OK with ethanol, but I’m not chancing it. Luckily alc. Free is not hard to find here. I live in the middle of the corn belt and a good deal of my income is from farm ground that my family owns. I’m still apposed to ethanol. I know several farmers here that are all for it but won’t use it in their own vehicles.

My dad would like to see that vintage Massey.

He and my uncle have plenty of Massey Ferguson, small to large. Maybe one or two gas burners.

My old Willys jeep gets only ethanol free.
