No more high test fuel for us

[claymore]

Well they finally did it and have stopped selling our highest octane 95 which is what you guys call 93. It worked great in my car an got the best mileage :(

Now all you can get is 10% ethanol 95 octane that sucks. Besides lowering fuel mileage a substantial amount it also attracts moisture and MAY cause faster wear on rubber engine parts. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The best normal fuel we can get now is 91 which is like your middle octane but they are talking about making everything ethanol blends.

It seems some of the big shot politicans have "invested" in the ethanol making plants and it wasn't selling very well so they just made a law forcing this crap on us.

It sounds like you went to sleep in Thailand, and woke up in California!

I may begin sticking corn cobs in my gas tank

It must have something to do with the younger people discovering the taste difference between Dr. Pepper and Coca Cola made the old fashioned way with pure cane sugar instead of HFCS.... Ethanol is a way to make up for profits lost to the real real thing coming from south of the border and the real D.P. from Dublin Texas, which is harder to find... Yeah I'm bull s***ing a little.

Which did you do- forget your meds, or forget that you already took 'em and take them a second time?

I took them an hour after your post an hour ago.... I have been out of town and don't sleep well unless I am in my own bed so I am hoping to get some sleep. Don't you guys have Coke that is bottled in Mexico? I think the Dublin bottled Dr. Pepper is probably just a Texas product.

It's all Greek to me dude, as a 58 year Diabetic, I don't know shit from Shinola about soda-pop except for the diet versions. When I was trying to heal three fractures in my left leg, I discovered that there is an acid in the list of ingredients of all "brown" soft drinks- cola, Dr. Pepper, etc., that leaches calcium out of your bones. In 1999 I stopped all soft drinks cold, after a case-a-week diet cola habit of 30 years. The leg works, and I have saved quite a lot of money by not spending it on "expensive, brown, bubbly water".

To tell the truth, sody water withdrawal from the 6 or 8 I consumed over a 4 day period is proving to be worse than a hangover from an overindulgence of alcohol.... My daddy was right, high fructose corn syrup is bad for you..... I knew a guy that lived on Coke that had the same problem with a badly broken leg.

Well it's even worse now. NO MORE GASOLINE all they are selling is E-85 Ethanol in all octanes. Not sure if it is 85 ethanol and 15% gasoline or the other way around but it's ALL we can get now. :mad:

[manxman]

It's 15% ethanol.
