I thought ethanol was terrible in the cold?

Have to mix gasoline with it to get it to light off in the cold?

Around here, pure ethanol is sold in most stores. The call it “gas line anti-freeze”.

Ethanol up to 5% can have a lot of benefits as an anti-icing agent, octane booster and oxygenator. Ethanol is a wonderful fuel additive but a lousy fuel.

Ethanol has the effect of being an anti-freeze because of the alcohol.
