there was a report out just recently stating ethanol did nothing to cut down on greenhouse gases or to conserve fuel and was ifnact not good for small engines

[Jonty30]

It actually increases greenhouse gases, because ethanol is less efficient because you have to fill more often.

“was ifnact not good for small engines”

Since they mandated it in Florida I have had to buy a new string trimmer every year .

My chipper/shredder died in less that a year too.(not replacing that one)

I have replaced a couple of small engine carburetors because of ethanol damage. I also have a fleet of vehicles in excellent repair from the 90s, and this crap is doom to the fuel systems. I currently run no ethanol gasoline in them, but pay more for the fuel, almost a buck a gallon.

Bad fuel or worse? It's what happened to high compression muscle car engines when unleaded became the rage.
