In Reply to: Ethanol gas posted by shullpa on December 02, 2010 at 17:00:40:
Been burning the 10% blend since it came out. Have it in everything I own or have owned. Never had a single problem with it. I started burning 20% in my 2000 Dakota and the mileage actually increased. I just filled up tonight and paid $2.67. I have a 99 Dakota that I have in storage. Last year I ran it for about 10 minutes and put it back in the shed. It had 10% blend in it. I took it out of storage this fall and drove it for a month before putting it back in the shed. The gas in it was 2 years old and the truck started and ran like when it was new. So much for it only lasting 2 weeks or months. My JD collection sits all year and only gets run once a summer and never a problem with old gas in them. I have even run E85 in some and they ran just fine. I don't know what you guys are experiencing but it is not happening to my vehicles. As a side note, Rusty Wallace from Nascar was at a local ethanol plant today announcing that Nascar was going to run 15% blend in their series next year. He was excited about the extra power and mileage the cars where going to be making. You suppose Nascar tested this stuff before going to it? I'd bet they did. Don't the Indy cars run on ethanol also? I haven't heard of any problems with them. How many of you guys complaining grow corn. Why do you suppose it is as high as it has been the last years? Every farmer I know has some contracted to the ethanol plants because they get a premium for it. Is it subsidized? Sure, but when was the last time the government paid LDP's on corn? Not since ethanol started expanding.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown Tractors - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
