Okay after reading through most of the responses on this topic I have to say that 10-15% ethanol fuels are TERRIBLE in anything smaller than an auto I would think because it sucks for every boater, small engine user ( everything from power equipment to your power sport toys)
I personally run or add I should say a ounce of Marine Sta-bil when I fill up my jeep or taco.
For all my small engine stuff I ONLY run 89octane non-10-15%.
So with fuel mileage for me isn't being hurt by ethanol gas in anything I put on the highway.
Ethanol did let farmers get more $$$$$ for their corn crops as the government is who or really Obama's administration brought it up to be the morons to put 10-15% ethanol in fuels.
I just wish it was not in fuel as bad that it is because gas needs to be gasoline NOT gasohol.
It is wise these days to run non ethanol in any small engines or you better run those engines dry if you plan on letting them set up for more than 2 weeks because ethanol 10-15% will just have you take your whatever to the mechanic more than WE ever had to do before 2008.
My 2cents on the matter.
