Here in Minnesota we have 10% ethanol. The street rodders went to the =
legislature and got an exemption for old cars, rods and boats or any =
recreational toy. It is available at a lot of stations. This might be =
worth trying before all your mo gas has ethanol.

Yep I've been using Super unleaded 92 octane from the local Amoco/BP station for years, no alcholol no oxygenate, just good gas.

The federal law to implement ethanol as opposed to MTBE will likely change
that, right?
As far as I understand, there won't be any MTBE left due to the
congressional mandate...

Andrew,
I will take a whack at this one.
A. It is corrosive to some materials
B. It attacks some elastomers.
C. Even if there are no materials of construction issues in your tank,
hoses or carbs, it raises vapor pressure and thus can increase the risk of
vapor lock problems. This, of course, gets worse at altitude.
D. For two strokes there is greater risk of phase separation in the
presence of a little water. This can lead to all kinds of problems. Many
chainsaw have succumbed to this problem.
I like to burn E-10 in my cars and trucks, but I prefer straight hydrocarbon
fuels for my 912S.
