Ethanol?
I pulled up to the pump today to find new stickers slapped on the pumps.
Quote " contains 10% or less Ethanol"
I decided to pull away and go somewhere else until I consulted the hdforums.
Anyone use this gas?
Thanks

RE: Ethanol?
Our all-wise legislature in NJ replaced their mandated known cancer-causing MTBE additive with ethanol 2 years ago. If you want to ride after October in this state you either have to get your own gas storage facility and fill it in the summer, or burn the ethanol mix until May. Those are our two choices...

RE: Ethanol?
So let me get this straight, they banned it cause it causes cancer but they only care if you get cancer in the winter? So I guess they could care less if you get cancer in the summer.
