Two words: Lakeview Marina, it is where Marine Max sends there new customers and where they fill up their own boats. It's $2.99 a gallon but maybe because its real gas and not cream of corn!!!

As far as heet goes, and please no one debate this it has been studied. It does not work to help to much ethanol, it helps water in fuel. The only way to help to much ethanol is dilute it with good gas.

The ethanol is a great cleaner, lower octane than gas but the problem it is causing people is older technology was not made to accept it and it makes fuel filters fall apart, gaskets in fuel pumps fail and it absorbs the water that has been in the bottom of your tank for twenty years and also cleans all the sludge and crap from fuel lines and tanks and stops up the needle and seats and venturies in carbs and injectors. it is bad stuff but what can you do. Tbone i would add real octane boost, go get some AV fuel and put it in.

Thank you Andy that is the point i was trying to make. Heey is alcohol based there for making the problem with the fuel worse.
