[QUOTE="Smokyray, post: 1559939, member: 43975"] Sadly many of us "old dudes" remember the days at the pump "BE" (before ethanol)Tetraethyl Lead additives and catalytic converters. I suppose "Ethanol Averse" would not be far from the mark. The Federal Government mandated Ethanol into automobile fuel as a subsidy for corn production and sold it as energy, efficiency and lower emissions. Living in SD when the change took place the Corn Council was big on pushing 100% Ethanol fuels until E85 became a reality there before it hit the US mainstream market. Interestingly enough (as several independent reports show and my Corn Council neighbor's info) it's none of the above. Here in TX, (Thank God) non ethanol automobile fuel is still available to consumers at selective stations that can be found on [URL]https://www.pure-gas.org/[/URL] I've run my own experimental data in my V6 Tacoma with mileage and performance and found my gas mileage(as mentioned above), power output and oil sample cleanliness, as well as spark plug deposits were improved over a 7500 mile test of "non ethanol only" gasoline vs the standard 15% additive most stations offer. [I]Engine cylinder volumetric efficiency notwithstanding. [/I] Say what you will but my Raptor runs real nice on the 93 octane NE fuel ....:) V/R Smokey [/QUOTE]
