Ethanol Free Gasoline

So it seems but as always going green has its costs. Solar panels for example seem like a great idea but things change quickly when you look into the finite life span they have and the disposal of the hazardous waste within them.

Here in Idaho ethanol free gas is available everywhere, pull into just about any gas station and look for the blue nozzle. Some offer both regular and super.

After several months now of using it exclusively both my truck and car are getting about 3-4 MPG better fuel efficiency never mind run way better.

Don't know why here and also in Utah it is widely available.

I think he is focusing on independence more than ''green''.

NH imports all its fossil and nuclear fuels from someplace else.
It has served us well... but we do feel the shocks.

Part of that is while our electric grid has many different generation sources... some more dominate than others... that only works on electric elements.
Most of our vehicles and space heating isn't electric based.
