"...Chevron gas is not that readily available where I live and is usually
more expensive than Sunoco which is what I usually use...""
Here in Florida, the majority of gasoline available is now 10% ethanol
"infected." Hence, I search out fuel sources still selling good ol' 100% gasoline:
there are some around, and presently in St Pete (for those in my neck of the
woods) there is a Sunoco on Tyrone Blvd., and two BPs on 4th street. As
long as its a brand name of some known quality, and I know it's not
ethanol-containing, I'm good with buying Techron (sp?) and adding same separately. Why
my aversion to ethanol? Besides the possible problems in deteriorating
components of the fuel system, I've found a drop in fuel mileage when using ethanol
"infected" fuel. Although the ethanol fuel receives a government
subsidy--and the retailer is supposed to pass the savings along--in my neck of the woods
the cost of ethanol vs non-ethanol fuel is the same; hence, given the
choice, I buy only the non-ethanol fuel. (trips, however, are an exception). That's
my story and I'm sticking to it.
