Default The ethanol nightmare has arrived!

This is a nationwide situation. Not just in a few states. You may not
find non-ethanol autogas at your usual outlet. Our jobber started mixing
in ethanol last week, however I had not purchased any since mid-March so
was unaware.

In essence, with the 5.1 cent per gallon tax break, the US federal
government has just killed the Aviation autogas concept.

I'm trying to locate a new source, but may not be successful. The ethanol
is added at the distribution rack. Chevron and a couple others are
requiring their retailers to go to E-10.


I know this suggestion may be a bit far out, and you may not have the time
or ability to make it happen, but perhaps one of your friends would.

How about getting a slightly clapped out fuel truck, and setting up yourself
as a distributor, and going and getting a load at a time of untainted fuel,
and bringing it back and either using it yourself, or selling it to yourself
and a few others?
