Non-ethanol gas

Just felt I should share that there is now a gas station just a couple miles away that serves non-ethanol premium gas!

There aren't any gas stations within a couple of miles from me, I live way out in the sticks!

How much better is it for your car? Are there any performance gains?

my local 'no ethanol' guy was also selling way below octane . . .

gains .. in a modern car - NO

in a classic - you can put in an additive if you worry about it.

this is my experience anyway . . .

You get better mileage with 100% gasoline, ethanol has less energy than gas.
