Dwayne,
I spotted this in a email to Dan:
We were paying up to 6 a gal in Canada and around 4 here. Burning premium all the way. In States I add ethonal fighter. So add that
cost to it.
Please advise details on ethanol fighter.
Regards,
Rob M.

I'm re-posting this here:

"Carl - we had no problem in Canada with fuel - all the premium was ethanol
free and in the maritimes some provinces were totally ethanol free. ONce
we got into the states I started using the Lucas Safeguard Ethanol fuel
conditioner with stabilizer
Have been driving in 87 degree weather and no problems - although close to
sea level and no major hills.
Will keep using the premium with the conditioner and report on it.

Dwayne,
Thanks for the info. I will definitely give it a try on my next summer trip. I haven't had a problem since a year ago July when we went up to Flagstaff. The hill between Cave Creek and Sunset Point, on I-17, was a bear. We were lucky to make 25 mph with the engine cutting in and out the whole way. It might have been because the gas had been in the tanks since April or May. Once I got to a higher altitude, hence cooler, it ran fine the rest of the trip, including the 120 miles between Phoenix and Tucson at 100 degree plus temps.
Our trip his past July, to Silver City NM was not a problem. Higher elevation (cooler) and less of a climb, at least to Lordsburg. It pulled the next 35 miles and 3,000 ft with no issues after topping off the gas at Flying-J.
I plan to eventually install in-tank fuel pumps, but until that time, my strategy will be to tackle the big grades in the wee hours of the morning when it's still cool.
