There is a “Racetrack” gas station about 10 miles from me that sells ethanol-free gas, so that’s all I use in my yard equipment now. The corn-based stuff has ruined at least two of my past 2-cycle trimmers.
I just go over there and fill up my 5-gallon container and I’m set for a good while.
93 octane premium is $.60 over 87 oxy here in Missouri.
Not all gas stations carry 93 or 91 premium...
Vapor lock is a major problem for the old classic cars. Ethanol has a lower evaporation temperature.
Unfortunately, running high octane gasoline in an old car is not recommended either. I am stuck.
Adding diesel to the tank seems to help. Unfortunately, the car smokes a bit. LOL.
They just put up a Maverick gas station just down the road from me that sells ethanol free gas.
I’m on my 2nd tank of it now.
For me, I go to the local private plane airport and buy aviation gas. Since I started doing that I have no more springtime carburetors on small engines to rebuild or lawn equipment to replace. Now instead of draining the fuel for the winter I top off the tanks.
Fires off first pull in the spring and runs great. Even stable can’t keep corn gas alive all winter.
