I was at a local BP Station and there was a large sign that said
Mid Grade Gas Ethanol Free.

Anyone know anything about this?


(Now that was a stupid question.Smart as this group is everyone might know something ) lol

They have ethanol free in southern Wisconsin for only a small premium over the Crapanol gasoline. We've been stuck with ethanol laced gas for years around Chiicago.

Unless the price premium is a lot, I think it's best to use the ethanol free in a coach that's not being driven much and spends it's time in storage.

That's ridiculous -- our (unjustified) penalty here is usually only $0.10
or so.
