I didn't realize that no ethanol gas still existed! Never thought of that - love this forum!

With regards to driving naked... well, let's just say that I do not look as pleasing as the "biker chick" from Vanishing Point. But if possible I'll turn off the A/C. In somewhat muggy weather here in WA I can generally stand to keep it off to about 80-85 degrees.

Thanks a bunch for the complete reply!
