I agree it needs to be passed around. I've known about the effects ethanol has had on all vehicles not just classic cars for awhile now. I have also noticed at least around here that some stations independent mostly are going back to ethanol free gas. Myself I've been lucky that there is a ethanol free station not far from me and even tho it's a little more money thats all I use in every thing I own from the lawn equipment, Tractor and both my car and truck.

Having raced with methanol fuels for many years and seeing what it can do to fuel systems It hard to believe we have this in our fuels for every day use. When normal gas started drying up and they all went to the ethanol I started adding a half cup of oil to my tank when filling up. To date I have no corrosion or bad fuel system parts and some times I add a cup of ATF and it all seems to prevent damage to the fuel systemas well.

Here are some stations, where you can buy non-ethonal gasoline.
This list might not be 100% correct, but it is a start.

Ethanol in our fuel does horrible things.

Especially to 2 cycle engines!

Be aware people.
