Gasohol
Hampton Airport in SE New Hampshire sells straight mogas with no additives. They buy it by the tankload at the terminal in Portland ME before the bad stuff goes in. Blue skies! -- Dan Ford The joke on us all is that gas pumped to your local distribution terminal has no alcohol in it... At the distribution terminal are huge tanks of gas, and smaller tnaks of alcohol, dye, additives, etc... The driver pulls up with his tanker... Keys in who the gas is for Shell, Marathon, ETC.and what the octane rating is and the computer selects the appropriate base stock of gasoline and mixes in the proper additives and dyes as it pumps the load to his tanker, including the alcohol... We are being hosed by the oil companies, in cahoots with the government, in more ways than just price... This is straight from the tanker driver's mouth... He spent a good ten minutes showing me his work sheets, computer instruction sheet, mixing receipt for his load, and gas analysis sheet including percent of water, etc. that he leaves a copy of with the station after delivery... denny |

It is true that all oil companies fuel is essentially the same, and has been true for a long time. Explain how the government is somewhow in "cahoots" with the oil companies? Federal, state and local governments together make more on a gallon of gas than the oil companies do. |

And that means that all of us using gasohol are getting worse gas mileage than we would get with straight gasoline. I have personally verified that to be true in my vehicles. |

I read that, starting in 2007, in some places, California and some Canadian Provinces included, it is regulated that all gasoline sold must contain at least 5% alcohol/ethanol. Tony Here in Ontario I was told not all gasoline must have 5% alky, but 5% of all fuel sold must be alky - so 50% of all fuel sold being E10 satisfies the requirement. In practice, virtually all 87 octane will be e10. Premium 91 will (from some companies, at least) be E0, making the blended 89 E5. Since significantly over half the gasoline sold in Ontario is 87 octane, this would excede the requirements. - Just from what I've been told, but you can never trust the elected idiots, or worse yet the beurocrats IF I ever get a plane, all these silly fuel issues would be a real irritant. I haven't been paying much attention to the new diesel aircraft engines becoming available. Since I should be making my own biodiesel by the end of this Summer (for something less than 45 cents a gallon), are any of the new diesels in the O-200/Rotax 912 class? What do you grow to make biodiesel? Relatives that own restuarants and have to pay to dispose of waste fryer oil! You grow relatives? Well, somebody planted the seed and they tend to grow on their own. I just fertilize them now and then! What do you actually do to the waste fryer oil to make it useful as biodiesel? |

What is magic about a THIRD of a tablet? It's very technical. Actually, I meant to type a "4", but I hit the "3" by accident. In a flash, I thought "Should I bother to correct that?" and the answer was "Nah...it doesn't matter."... :-) Tell the truth Jay. Is it because a 1/2 or full tablet won't fit in the Coke bottle you are using? http://www.investors.com/editorial/c...oon051507c.gif {Chuckle} -- Matt Barrow Performace Homes, LLC. Cheyenne, WY |
