Ethanol

[old coot]

I saw this ad for "real" gasoline in the Conway Daily Sun of June 2nd, 2010.
oc

After a year long search for a distributor,
Freedom Market is excited to be the only retailer in
the area to offer gas without ethanol.
Pure gas works better for any 2-cycle engine such as a
boat, lawnmower, chainsaw, or 2-wheeler.
Many older cars, motorcycles, boats and tools have
engines that run worse, or have parts that deteriorate,
when run on gasoline that contains ethanol. In
addition, ethanol leaves residue on valves and
other parts that can hinder performance.
The Freedom Market
Open 365 days a year for one-stop shopping.
Groceries, gas, cigarettes, beer, wine, hunting and fishing supplies.
Rt. 25 • Freedom • 539-7774

Wish a marina can use the same distributor for gas as the Freedom Market. It's a loooong haul to Freedom!

I emailed this ad to some people who I thought would want to know about the availability ethanol free gasoline, one of whom is the General Manager of a long established Winnipesaukee marina. Here's what he said in his email reply.

"Thanks for the info. One never knows when something like this will be of benefit. I suspect this is gas coming from Montreal. We had an offer to take advantage of it but decided to not take advantage of it for a number of reasons. I hope it works for Freedom Market and I'm glad we still live in enough of a capitalist nation where something like this can be taken advantage of. Too bad we have to go to a foreign country because our own government has decided to take that decision away from us. Ethanol and marine use are not entirely compatible for sure."
