I have looked up past threads on ethanol, have read some good stuff on it, I don't want to run ethanol in my 89' Wing, I try to fill up in North Dakota when I can where I can get straight gas, my 01' yamaha golf car has been running crappy lately, a mechanic who I know to be knowledgeable claims it's the Minnesota gas with ethanol init, he also feels MN is putting more ethanolin than they claim. Nothing against ethanol, BUT, if it's wrecking my carbs, I would like the option of getting non-ethanol gas,my weed-wacker, leaf blower, lawn mower run like crap, I feel it's the ethanol eating up the o-rings in the carbs, from what I'm being told. I hear"non-oxygenated" gas is non-eth, but it's not readily available(in MN).The ethanol gasin my fuel-injected cars are no problem, but there are many gas powered carbed engines still around, with no option ofstraight gas, Minnesota seems to be a big pusher of ethanol.
