Hats off to BigDave, he hit the nail right on the head. Ethanol in gas causes more problems than it's worth. It says in many owner's manuals of small engine power tools that you should avoid gas with ethanol in it, as it causes the tool to be under-powered and has a tendency to stall. I just want to buy straight gasoline, but in the Socialist State of Massachusetts we have no choice, everything is E10 or greater. Just give me a choice, PLEASE!
And as an aside, Methanol is MORE hydroscopic than Ethanol and also mixes with ethanol. That is why it is used in 'dry-gas', because it goes out and finds more water and the crappy ethanol (it's not much better itself) and it allows the water to pass through the fuel filter (usually a synthetic filter with silicone in it to stop water from going into the pump, because water is bad for them), and eventually pass through the exhaust. Alcohol in gas is not good for fuel economy, it reduces the overall BTU value of the Gas, so you get less power from the same amount. BigDave said all I wanted to say,
to you Bigdave.
