About $3.2/gallon here in Georgia last I checked. I use in all my tractors but do not farm with them. I believe (not supported by data) that non-ethynol will last longer in tanks that are not routinely used up and replaced. ------------- When asked how it feels to be the smartest man alive, Albert Einstein answered, "I do not know, you'll have to ask Nikola Tesla." 1938 B, 1938 B, 1942 B, 1959 D10, 1959 D12 |

The ethanol is hydroscopic (water absorbing) and hard on a lot of plastics, regular and synthetic rubbers. The non ethanol new gas still will phase separate and lose its octane etcetera with in a month or two if I understand correctly. ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

You're probably under the same EPA order that we are in Northwest Indiana. All gasoline sold must be oxygenated and around here, that means ethanol. E10, though. ------------- 1951 B |

$2.49 for E10 here. Add 30 cents for non-ethanol. I've never lived in a place where the difference was so great, but that 30 cent difference is statewide here. If you happen to need premium you'll have to bend way forward and kiss your bottom. It's way overpriced. |

WTH is with the gas prices???? They have skyrocketed in the last couple of weeks!!!! Around here 87 is $2.60 per gallon. WHY!?!?!? Did the price of a barrel go sky high? The ONLY thing that 87 goes into is my vehicles. EVERYTHING else get 'High Test'. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

Chew on this for a while. Dec 11, 2018 NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil output growth was expected to slow slightly for this year compared with previous forecasts, the Energy Information Administration said on Tuesday, but at a record 10.88 million barrels per day, the nation will end 2018 as the world’s top producer. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-oil-eia-outlook/u-s-expected-to-end-2018-as-worlds-top-oil-producer-eia-idUSKBN1OA21D" rel="nofollow - https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-oil-eia-outlook/u-s-expected-to-end-2018-as-worlds-top-oil-producer-eia-idUSKBN1OA21D

There was a day when E10 was 89 octane. Many turbo'd cars (Ford Ecoboost engines for one) could benefit from that. Then the oil companies figured out they could cheapen the blend and charge the same price. |

Quit don't need you gloating about how good you got it.  Dang old buzzard politicians, we have some of the poorest burn gas in world and it's all better than $3 a gallion. Got down to 2.99 for several day and right back to 3.20 before I could get any delivered to the ranch.I guess it is your turn to gloat though,

We don't have non E10 here that I'm aware of. Gas will be going up more soon as they say the summer blend costs more to make. I had an old guy tell me once that unleaded gas won't give you a problem sitting for a time. It is the same as white gas and that stuff never goes bad. I leave it in all my gas equipment year round and never have any problems after extended sitting time. My friend was surprised when I went to get the D14 out last spring. First start of the year after sitting all winter. I hooked up the battery, turned on the gas, and it fire right off. Do what you want, but I ain't buying no stabill! ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

What is different about new gas that makes it phase separate? When I was a kid back in the 1970s the combine, several of the tractors and the grain trucks we had were 1960s gassers and we had a buried 500 gallon tank in the barnyard that dad would have it filled every spring before planting and every fall before harvest. I never remember any worries about gas going bad in the tank back then and I know it sat in there for several months. |

I don't know all the 'technicals' about it but... if you take a gallon of it, fresh from the pump, fill a clean glass big jar with it, place on solid shelf, see what happens after a week, then 2 then 4..... that 'gas' is now $4.50 US$ per USG here today... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

VAfarmboy I miss spoke and it's the ethanol gas that phase separates absorbing moisture after a while, also read somewhere that the parts of the alcohol and gas molecules combine after time and form little strands. The ethanol free gas starts losing it's upper light end distillates and octane when not completely sealed and kept at moderate temps, same goes for ethanol gas. I think I got it right this time. I'll go check my blood glucose again.
May be Dave Kamp can chime in for us. ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

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!!?? ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??

Is there a way for an individual to test gas for ethanol other than put it in a glass and wait. Every tanker driver I talk to says it's all got some in it. I get non ethanol gas delivered but would like to test it. Scott ------------- Allis Chalmers still exist in my mind and barns |

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. I never drain the lawnmower or 4-wheeler and they always run fine next spring. Seems better than 4 weeks.

| It's like $4.00 here and only one place in the County handles it. It's all I use is two strokes and other small gas engines. Really need to check if carb kits use ethanol proof components. Tractors are made to run on cheap gas. It's the soft part break down in the fuel system and storage that's the issue. |

| 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 haven't been out, so I can't say. But I know I'm getting sick n tired of changing out the cheap plastic pickup lines in the weed wacker and blower. The ethanol gas just eats those up. The manf. says there are no problems with ethanol and these machines. Well I sure wish he'd show his dumb azz around here so I could show him, actually, MAKE HIM change out the little hoses. It's a royal pain. IDIOTS.. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

I am the same as Aaron. Don't run around chasing gas. E 10 treats me well without additives. Just fired up my Z turn and lawn tractor after setting all winter. They slurp down that E10. I am not an advocate of E10 at all don't get me wrong. I personally think there is to much legend associated with the woes of E10.
