Gawd I hate ethanol blended gas It’s a real shame. They charge more to put it in and it lowers the MPG of your vehicle. When I used to play with race cars a few guys started converting to ethanol because of its race gas like quality being that it’s cheap 115 octane gas. Well to run it in a Big Block chevy you had to increase jet sizes on you carburetor 50%
On the positive side. The ethanol boom has helped a lot of shortlines
Gotta say, kinda funny the Gas prices in the link were pretty accurate. That movie is like 30 years old.
