The last is the biggie. Over time the ethanol added to the fuel will
wreak havoc with your 2-cycle engine. So, you using premium is a good
thing and you can make it better if your state allows for mixtures
without ethanol. I know that Wisconsin does, but Illinois doesn't.


Washington allows it. I've found that my ancient 500cc motorcycle gets
50mpg with ethanol, 60 without. And the ethanol does bad things to tank
liners in old bikes.

BTW, eliminating 10% ethanol increases my bikes mileage by 20%. Tell me
how I'm lowering pollution with ethanol :-).
