So all this leaves me with a problem. One of my jet skis requires high octane gas. Most (all?) marinas only pump the standard octane. My solution previously was to fill an 11 gal. container with high octane at a gas station and haul it down to the docks. However if ethanol = bad, and all standard gas stations are supplying ethanol in their gas, and marinas are only pumping standard octane --- Where can I get non ethanol, high octane gas???

Also, is this a problem for all 2 stokes? How about snowmobiles sitting for the winter. Lawn mowers, snow blowers, weed whackers, chain saws, ...???

These problems are what happens when the Powers That Be don't think out the solutions they shove down our throats. Its like the daylight savings time "solution" that went into affect this year. Many devices were handling daylight savings changes "automatically, and now they no longer work properly. Oh, thanks so much Uncle Sam.
