You're not full of anything!!

I had an 88 Toyota pick up truck with the 22RE 4 cylinder engine and if I ran ethanol gas in it, it would ping and knock like a bugger.

Took me a while to figure it out but it was the ethanol gas that caused it. When working for my uncle I would fill my truck from his tank as part of my pay for work. On that tank of gas my truck would run like crap. About half way through that week I would fill up from a gas station and the truck would run better. Then the next weekend it would happen again. He was buying an ethanol gas and in his 8 cylinder pick ups and dump trucks you couldn't notice any difference but in my little 4 banger you noticed it.

Now this was quite a few years ago so things might have changed.
