Side note...
Ethanol problems:

Also, doing a quick Google search on: ethanol damages engines I have learned that 10% Ethanol (E10) blended Gasoline:
* Has a shelf life of less than 3 months (in ideal conditions: no water, no humidity exposure)
* Absorbs water quickly
* Lowers MPG and HP (about 10%)
* Can damage plastic and rubber parts, hoses, fuel pumps, and engine gaskets.
* Engines older than 5 to 10 years, may not be compatible (unless re-designed to be compatible with E10)
