I sure wish they would get it out of the gas in Florida. It ruins outboards.

Very true.

and making ethanol from corn requires 29 percent more fossil energy than the ethanol fuel itself actually contains.

It also ruins the fuel systems in cars with carburetors and to a degree fuel injectors. (the alcohol attacks the rubber parts)

Check out http://www.pure-gas.org.

Non-ethanol gas is called “recreational gas,” and many marinas and gas stations sell it. Perhaps there is one near you.

I use recreational gas in my 1990 Airstream motor home and my 1991 Cadillac whenever I can — both run better, get better gas mileage. And, in my own small way, I’m sticking it to the environmental whackos when I use it.
