Default The FUEL discussion thread

We have one for engine oil how about gasoline?
I'm not personally connected with any of these places. But since I found a "top tier" fuel station close I may just give it a shot. Maybe I'm just a sucker for an ad campaign.
I'll be giving up my 10¢ per gallon discount from groceries but we'll see if I notice any changes.

I'll offer these links as a jumping off point:

I was using "ethanol free" regular in my old pickup & lawn equipment but I don't know if it was just old fuel or not but everything was a lot harder to start. Really noticeable burned fuel after odors too. Now I just use good old regular with 10% ethanol gas in the pickup and premium with 10% in the lawn equipment. I've been getting a recurring fuel deposit "spider-web" on the spark plug in my backpack blower I'm going to see if that goes away with this new brand of fuel.

There are two reasons I use ethanol-free gasoline:

1. It's the most baller **** ever

2. It makes my exhaust fumes twinkle man.


But yea, I don't know what difference it makes. I know gasoline has more kinetic energy than ethanol. So I guess there is some performance increase. I am seduced by marketing ****!

if you want cleaner internals and no deposits...the more ethanol - the better.

My new truck can handle E85, but I still got a lot of old tech that won't.
