Hi All,

The local Mavericks is putting in two pumps with
for pure gasoline. Yippee!

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.

We've had both in my little world in Nebraska. The ethanol is

is the important thing.


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.


I havent changed mine in 75K Km and use no alcohol in my car engine.

And they (and the cylinders) are absolutely clean when I do.


Haven't seen mine for that reason.

The only damage is from the electrical arc.
My (only) gasoline car needs a change every 10.000 Km or so.


What model is that ? Must be a real dinosaur.


Plugs were good for 15k miles or so way back in the days of leaded gas
and wimpy ignition systems when the had carburetors that were always a
compromise on the mixture. Most could still be cleaned, gapped and
used again. They were just so cheap, nobody bothered.
