What is the benefit to using Ethanol free gas?
I found a station not to far out of my way on my way to work, so I was just wondering if it would be worth my time to start pumping this into my car.

Oh, man, definitely get it. I ALWAYS put ethanol-free in my car!
You get better mileage, for one. It also doesn't gunk up your injectors and trash your engine as fast as ethanol will. Think of sticky corn syrup residue in your engine... At least that's how I personally look at it. I go out of my way for No-E fuel.

You just have to look, they'll have a sign that says ethanol-free usually. It costs about 10 cents more per gallon here than regular unleaded but I do get better mileage. Make sure there's no sticker on the pump that says their gas may contain up to 10% Ethanol.

Curse you people in the midwest that can get ethanol free gas! The only place I can find in Virginia is on the water at Lake Anna at one of the marinas...the hose wont reach to the parking lot.

Definitely get it! Like said Ethanol is basically corn/vegetable oil extract that is a filler in gas now-a-days. |

Great site, thanks for the input. After looking, I'm still screwed, unless I want to drive over an hour to get this. However, when/if I travel on Rt. 81 I'll definitely check this site again. |
