<VV> Ethanol-Free Petition

Looking at the pure-gas website it looks like it is available, in select 
locations -- if it is not available near your location it is either a 
marketing problem or state or other regulations, it would seem. I do not 
see the benefit of a Federal petition.

And the pure-gas list is far from complete.

The real issue with ethanol isn't how it burns, it is how it makes fuel 
absorb water (just like regular brake fluid) -- the water and ethanol 
then forms some corrosive agent that eats your carbs and metal gas tanks 
and the inside of fuel lines, especially in cars and boats in any length 
of storage -- some say anything over three days.  Marine Stabil seems to 
counter act this problem, but not as well as using ethanol free fuel.
