$2.25-$2.49 today where I am.Nothing I own seems to care what I put in it for gas.I thought a Yamaha 1700 I have might care,but it says 87 octane minimum.I tried it and it still runs the same as the high test.My neighbor rigged up this elaborate setup to remove the alcohol.His chain saws,lawnmower,weed whackers,acted up with the rehabbed gas.That's when he found out removing the alcohol brings the octane down to 77-78.We all had a good laugh about that.(him included)The places the internet says around here that carry alcohol free gas don't seem to know anything about it.
