Andy, I've been following this issue for many years. I've come to the conclusion that there just can't be that many liars and idiots out there, and that most of the people reporting problems/no problems with ethanol bearing fuels are being completely honest. I think for those of us that have problems, and I'm one of them, it may be related to the specific blends or fuel we get locally, the age of the equipment and any possible updates to fuel lines, gaskets, etc. and how often the fuel is cycled through.

Maybe it's the dealers tanks and what they add or don't add to them, I don't know. But there are too many people giving anecdotal evidence in both directions to believe it's all mass hypnosis or a conspiracy of liars either way.
