Non ethanol gas prices

Is this the "anti Trump" people doing this?  Yes, it usually goes up in the spring, but this is premature yet.  This is price gouging at it's best.
I think they're looking for $4 a gal this summer so they can blame it all on Trump.  My thoughts....

There is NO EXCUSE for it going up this early in the year and this big a jump in just a couple of weeks.  WTH!!??

Everyone complains about how terrible the ethanol gas is and how it only last a couple months. We have a lot of gas tractors and never put stabilizer in them and never have trouble. I've filled up my bulk tank in December with 87 gas from the pump and run it until empty in June with no trouble. The farm tanks sit with gas in them for 1-2 years. I used the farm tank gas in my WD45. Last year it wasn't used much and after being in the tractor tank 1.5 years I could finally tell it was getting weak. Tractor with high compression 8.2:1 would diesel for a bit after shutting off. After a year, the old 300,000 mile truck that only drives around the yard and misses terrible finally wouldn't hardly run with the old gas.

Scott google ethanol tester for gasoline, lots of kits and testers available online.

BreakTime/ MFA sells that stuff around here, the diesel fuel will not start a brush pile fire, the gas is so horrible on gas milage,, what a joke !!! They can make rocket fuel , but cant get enthanol right ,,   

And that's wise this day and age.

Still $3 and holding here 1/2 mile away.

Checked the sign yesterday at the Jiffy Mart in South Longview Texas.  Ethanol Free was $2.899. Only place local that you get Ethanol Free cept it ain't FREE. I thought my AMC 360 in my 83 Cherokee would like this stuff. To tell the truth, I couldn't tell the difference between it and Murphy grade 87 except for what it costs.

I only use the ethanol free in anything that sits for more than a month or two without use. I've had to many carb problems in the past and for a few bucks extra a year, it ain't worth the chance for extra work. I guess if that makes me kind of lazy, so be it.

$2.54 for regular unleaded today, didn't catch the non ethanol price.

Hey Ted! If ya hafta run that line in the tank with a too small hole (it seems),buy extra long and cut long diagonal across line. Leaves a pointed end you can start real easy then pull on through!
