Got a hold on some ethanol free today :-D
There is a noticeable difference in performance. Going up hill in 5th gear I was actually able to gain speed. It's never done that.

The only difference I notice is my gas mileage drops every year when they switch. :-|

The closest one is an hour away. Not worth it. Nice site though.

I Googled The Lucas you mentioned and can't find my answer...Does it state on the bottle it reduces the harmful effects of ethanol? Also the Lucas website...Bell Performance was the only product I could find that was actually a ethanol blocker but that stuff is expensive, wow! Also found this stuff Star Tron and they sell it at Wally...

Thanks for the update...I might buy the Wally World Star Tron at least it is affordable and easy to get,measuring might be a pia,it would be nice if they had a tank size bottle..

Correct me if I'm wrong but I am sure lots of fuel pump,gasket,and failing sensors are caused by ethanol but nobody will fess up and admit it...I had a perfect ZR2 Blazer with 66,000 miles on it and the intake gasket failed,I took it back to the dealer for repair and it cost me a pretty good chunk of change to get it fixed and now I think I know the true issue and what caused the problem they admitted they used the wrong antifreeze but if I was a betting man I would point my finger at the ethanol and what pmo was GM not standing behind it so my perfect little Blazer got a new home...People in charge now don't test anything like they should and consumers pick up the tab for their failures..I hate spots on my garage floor and I will pay a few times for a repair and if they keep coming back,adios to that vehicle..

The ethanol dries seals out...Lucas oil prevents that

By Lucas oil are you referring to the stuff you use for ethanol the Lucas oil fuel injector cleaner with upper cylinder lubricant? I have seen it on the counter at Advance might give it a whirl...

djfllmn · #42 01-08-2013, 06:31 AM

Every other gas station in Oklahoma is 100% and the others have the option I don't know if I costs more to use it because I've stopped looking at gas prices I have to use 91 in my ranger cause of some of the upgrades to the engine and I use 87 In my Chevy I only use 100% and right now they costs about the same to fill up and ours has to notification of ethanol levels I see 10% mostly I only use 100%

Guess what I noticed today? I just purchased a new Motorcraft gas cap with tether that just arrived and look what it has on it...Imagine that..Wonder how many people will use the E85 since it will be cheaper and damage their vehicle

Dexcool is known for eating gaskets, fairly common issue in chevrolets.

Only certain vehicles are approved for E85. Like the FFV 3.0s. They're fine with 0-85% ethanol. But in standard engines I wouldn't go over 10%.
And fwiw, 0% ethanol gasses will cost more, but will also net better gas mileage.
