Ethanol-free Gas Challenge!

[<<<<]

Access all undiluted engine potential by using proper fuel. Ethanol in most of the gas (up to 15%) provides less energy and equals to less power at worse MPG. Now, the price of pure gas is higher and wont be offset by your mileage saving but you will notice the difference in the way your truck runs. I challenge anyone here to try 2 tanks of pure (ethanol free 87 grade) and then try to go back to the same regular 87 or any other grade after that. Keep in mind any regular gas in US has ethanol unless separate pump specifically says "Ethanol Free". Good luck

I don't think I've ever seen ethanol-free 87 gas. Usually only the race gas at 100+ octane, whatever it is.

I'll agree with this statement. It costs the same as premium which includes ethanol, but at least for us in KC it's available at Hy Vee or most QT's.

Remember when gas was only 10c difference between the different octane levels? Now it's 40c to 50c per step...

 

[ElectroBoy]

That’s a great idea. But I only see non-ethanol gas occasionally on road trips in the southwestern states. I do use it when I can, but with one mixed tankful at a time I have no conclusions about MPG or performance.

X2 Ethanol is hard to find in the NE, though i have found it in upstate NY at a Mobil. Its out there but like you said these liberal states give little choice.

X2 on them trying to confiscate our SUV's. An 4R will produce 11.42 metric tons of CO2e with 20k a year. That's 2x what outher country's have for an individual persons total CO2e emissions (car/elec/goods).

I should have bought my R4 years ago. Now its going to be taken away just like our guns.

 

[baldrik78]

I don't think anyone is actually going to take away your trucks or your guns.

Doesn't mean they don't want to, or aren't trying to. Ask Beto.

 

[DEUS-MACH1NA]

pure-gas.org shows where to find stations around you

 

[GX4SEVEND]

There’s only premium here and it’s $3.99/ gallon so I’ll pass

The QuikTrips around here offer it.

Your heart is going to break when you find out what president recently lifted restrictions on the sale of higher ethanol blends

(Ethanol has nothing to do with green new deal or fuel efficiency, it's about the corn lobby)

In Miami area there is ethanol free around where people fill boats up, easy to find. It cost a lot more per gallon though, like 40 cents or so.

You are correct. I think it costs more to produce a gallon of ethanol than it does a gallon of gasoline. And it contains less energy per gallon. The corn lobby is very powerful.

I live in Kali.....where my Government thinks FOR Me! I don't have to make choices, they know what is best and just send Me the Bill......it's so easy! There IS no Ethanol free gas so my Brain doesn't have to ''Hurt'' making these kinds of decisions! I know you are jealous, but it's coming to your State soon so cheer up!:naughty:

 

[<<<<]

No, it will not come to my state. Midwest doesn't settle for crap like that. Just look at major headquarters located here. Do you think we are our own enemy? No one in state government would want to take on useless task of thinking and deciding for the people. Socialist and communist we are not.

"Remember when gas was only 10c difference between the different octane levels?"

I remember when gas was 19 CENTS per gallon. And my big Chevy or Olds V8 didn't get 4Runner mileage.

I can get ethanol free, but it's 20 to 30 miles away in the wrong direction. And some of that is at marina prices.

Heck, the marina 5 miles from me on the James River is advertising unleaded for $3.69 per gallon. That's compared to $2.29 at the nearest convenience store.

Ethanol is one of the biggest 'environmentally friendly' lies perpetrated on the people, just to appease the corn lobby, which was mainly family owned in the 70's, but is now mainly corporate owned now, so the supposed lie about 'helping farmers' is now total bunk, along with the lie that it was 'good for the environment'.

And yes, Trump gave the industrial farmers a big bone when he allowed the blending of 15% ethanol year round.

I'm pissed at him about that, but not pissed enough to vote for any of the anti-American sacks of dog excrement that the left is made up of.
