Wait ethanol free gas? That exists???

The only problem with ethanol is that it absorbs water, but I feel like I've heard of other things going wrong with old gas...

That would be Hydrophilic... Hydroscopic is something equipped with a hydroscope, which is a underwater scoping device...

Yeah, I knew it was hydrosomething. Thanks for the correction.

Man, I am jealous. Most people are pretty lucky if they have easy access to 93 or ethanol-free!

I don't take it for granted, believe me. Even having access to ethanol-free 93, I'm still jealous of the E85-havin'-ass folks. POWAAAH!!

Takes a long time for gas station gas to go bad. Try it out in another car that is old, or maybe a carb and see. If it runs at all well, it's probably okay.
