Nah Steve it has been shown time and again that ethanol in the fuel can me a major contributor. The problem is that fuels are not consistent everyplace so some guys say "I use X with no issues" while others say "X causes them all the time". Add to that the fact that even ethanol seems ok a when the ambient air temperatures are low and we get yet another variable when people try to compare fuels. All this adds up to the conclusion that personal " I have" and "I don't have" stories don't mean a thing.
