It's low flow toilet tanks all over again.
It's backdoor gun control or "gun control by proxy"
Sorry bro, that title belongs to me. I and the thread killer. let's not get into a pissing contest about, we would both end up banned.
My weed eater is trashed. Chainsaw might be a goner too. My riding mower is running like crap. Pisses me off I fill my lawn equipment tanks up with 100% gas. Some one filled my lawn equipment cans with e10 last fall... not only that they didn't add any stabil to them either. I always ran a fresh batch of fuel with stabil in it through them then drained tanks and ran em dry. They smelled horrible when I opened them up. My honda powered push mower is the only one that doesn't seem hurt by it at all it started right up.
Our 2010 Ford F150 has a "flex-fuel" engine. The wife was reading the owner's manual one day and stated that it said that when using ethanol, one needed to run a tank of 100% gas through it about every oil change. I figured that was an admission that ethanol was not really good for the larger engines, so I make it a point of always getting 100%, cost be damned. I don't like repair bills, even if the ethanol fuel is cheaper.
My '07 F150 is flex fuel, it sucks hind tit on e10, that extra dime for 100% is worth it.
The wife's '08 GT is not a flex fuel engine, can't tell a difference between e10 and 100%
I lose 3-5mpg running any ethanol blend in my 98 Suburban, goes from 21-22mpg highway to 16-17mpg with a blend, Real gas is what will keep older cars on the road longer, they will phase it out eventually trying to force us to purchase inferior vehicles.
Not sure if we're living on the same planet but that ethanol stuff is horrible on small engines, gaskets, fuel lines, plastic fuel tanks, etc. Plus it is basically just inefficient.
I need to tell this to a friend of mine that just got through replacing the gaskets and fuel line in his 3 year old John Deere mower. He must have been dreaming or in a coma when he told me it was leaking and sucking air. My mower is going on 14 years old and I haven't replaced anything and not used one gallon of the stuff.
Cool, what else do they do on the East coast that's ok for us Okies?
