Do we have anyone here that also subscribes to a Bimmer/Mailer?
I thought that most states required that fuels containing
ethanol be labelled at the pump. I have driven away from stations
here in Indiana that had the stickers ie 10% Gasahol. Of course
if you watched the tube recently, sometimes you don't get what
you think your getting. Do any of the gas brands contain methanol?
I thought alcohol blended gasolines only had ethanol. In Indiana,
the only cars running methanol run in the month of May and then
they only run about 500 miles :).
