I've used it now for about a month and the stock 73 is running decent! The price here is 3.19 a gallon and I'm getting about another 4 - 5 miles.
There is one thing thats happening now, Almost like the motor "misses" every now and then? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Happens very seldom but it never did before. |

Well, the truth be told there is a nice little sticker on the pump that says it's intended for "off road" use only. I don't understand that because it's being taxed the same as the other gas? If some of the taxes for this "off-road" only gas, are being used for the roads than why can't I use it on the roads? I just have my two 5 gallon cans filled and there you go. |

clear gas has no additives that reduce emissions, and no ethanol. hence the "off-road only"

I have read in some articles that boaters, antique car owners and pilots are allowed to use clear gas. |

The gas I have been using in Germany looks like water. It doesn't smell as bad as the stuff in the states either. It must not have as many additives as the US.

I have been noticing that the new fuel is creating alot of issues.
Lots of build up in the valves, killing Cats, killing 02 sensors. It seems very dirty. I would really like to go back to NO ethanol...and get all the shit out of the gas... Rich |

Oh damn, I'll check my plugs. My chain saw (after rebuilding it due to the ethanol), Weed whacker, lawn mower and snow thrower runs great on the stuff!
