When was the last time you saw ethanol free gasoline?
When was the last time you saw ethanol free gasoline?
I put some in the bike just to see if there was a difference.
I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me.
I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Personal story of better over time performance. I was using whatever gas I could find when I needed it, bike started missing a lot and even dying mid-shift on the highway. I thought I just picked up some bad gas at one station, so I started mixing up my stops around town a bit. No improvement. Then I started hitting that little station around the corner from me and a couple other eth-0 places, and within a week the bike was running better. I don't go horribly out of my way to avoid ethanol, especially on long trips where gas locations can be limited, but as long as I try to find ethanol free gas most of the time I never have any issues now.
