JK-NY said: (quoted from post at 11:36:00 11/27/09) Here in NY our gas is now 10% ethanol blend. I have heard some reports about problems with this blend compared to plain gasoline. Concerns include - not storing well longer than 30-60 days(drawing moisture and ethanol separating from gas, causing low octane/ poor combustion). Also not as good for older 2-cycle engines.I have already noticed a slight drop in gas mileage in my car - (Chevy Impala - 1 mpg or less drop). I know other parts of the US have been using this blended gas for awhile so I hoped some of you with experience can let me know if there is any truth to this. Also I am wondering if gas stabilizer helps prevent any of these problems. I am mostly concerned with having problems with chain saws etc, as well as my older gas tractors that arent used much over the winter. Thanks in advance - Hope everyone here had a good Thanksgiving.
