Ethanol free gas... street car

[Rory McNeil]

I have to wonder if the lower price for such "recreational" gasoline is due to no road tax, for use in boats, off road vehicles, lawn mowers etc. Here in Canada, typically ethanol free gas is only available in some brands of the higher octane premium blends, and a an increased price. If this recreational gas is cheaper, and street legal to use, sounds like a win win situation. I use ethanol free premium gas in my old carburated hot rod, as well as my generators, lawn mower and tractor, weed whacker, pit scooter, leaf blower, etc, to help prevent the corrosion in carbed fuel systems, that the ethanol can cause , especially in engines that sit for periods of time. My newer stuff is designed to use E10, the older stuff is not. Plus it seems that I get better gas mileage with ethanol free.
