It's not that simple for some of us, unfortunately. Virtually every station in my state that's not in the middle of nowhere (which also makes bothering to find any of those to fill up at counterproductive) has 10% ethanol fuel, so we will see if I develop any crickets. Got about 8,000 miles on the car right now and none that I can tell, yet. I don't doubt that ethanol fuel is a part of the issue, though.
