Dell does that mean if I don't like buying 87 octane at $3+ a gallon I could go to wally world and buy coleman fuel (aka white gas)?

Course I think coleman fuel is about $5 a gallon now but at least I would have another option right? I learned sumthin today...third party image

I guess my real thought and question would be about running ethanol? Around here I can buy 85% ethanol for about $2.60 a gallon... but I guess the question on that isn't if it would run on it but would it increase corrosion on the tank, fuel lines, carb, etc.? My understanding is that besides computer issues on newer cars the next biggest concern is corrosion caused by the water that the alchohol can hold... thoughts?

James..... ..dunnno, last time I looked at Coleman fuel it was colored "greenish".

Back in 40's as I remember, white gas had NO road tax and was "illegal" to use in vehicles, but ok to use in lanterns and cookstoves and was only sold at feedstores for farmers. Road gas was yellowish and then there was RED "Ethel" hi-test for high-compression engines. It stopped engines from "knockin".

Sold alotta Ethel in mountains of Colorado to keep engines from knocking due to over-advanced ignition timing trick used to increase horsepower lost to altitude..... ...Dell

Temperature may have some influence, but for the most part, maybe....

I live in GA, what do I know about temp?

From some of the late post, I may cannot..???

But the Northern folks can?

I talk alot, but don't say anything..
