Hi All,

The local Mavericks is putting in two pumps with

I lost 2.5 miles per gallon when Gasohol was forced down
our throats, thank you so much.

I wonder if this regulation being removed is Trump's doing?

Next reg to remove, those stupid regs on washing machines.

Don't forget to add in the extra cost of mainenance

Yes. Alcohol burns and produces ONLY water and CO2. No oily
residue to clog anything up. Cars that run on alcohol need LESS
maintenance.
I change my spark plugs every 30.000 Km. And they (and the
cylinders) are absolutely clean when I do. The only damage is from the
electrical arc.

The rest of us driving cars that run mostly on gasoline also change
spark plugs at long intervals today. That was already happening
before ethanol was introduced here. It's a function of much better
engine designs AFAIK, not the fuel. There should not be any oily
residue in modern cars. And oil is introduced into the combustion
chamber from the cylinder walls regardless of the fuel.





My (only) gasoline car needs a change every 10.000 Km or so.
Gratz on the observation.

Must be a crappy car or something peculiar with your situation.
Here cars using gasoline typically go 100K without changing the plugs.
I've changed them at that interval and they still looked fine.




And there's the pollution problem you didn't mention ... OK, I
can wait.
