Wow, lucky you my friend! Less than $4.00 per gallon for Ethanol free; I'd be running it full time in our 6 if I could get it for that! Perhaps even the Ethanol free will eventually be outlawed, who knows?.... And you're right; the small engine mechanics are having a field day/bonanza with the fuel drains/flushes,carb. clean/ rebuilds, R.&R. fuel lines, etc. due to the Ethanol in the gas these days. Are the newer vehicles built with Ethanol proof o-rings, coated parts, fittings,etc. to combat this problem? Anodized parts alone don't seem an adequate solution.
