I'd prefer non-ethanol fuel but I'm not driving all over Hell's half acre to get it.
Otto -- Have you considered getting a tank and buying in bulk? We have a 100-gal tank here at HQ and I get 100 gals of 89 octane non-ethanol delivered every now and then. Yes, it *is* a little more expensive than the ethanol mix -- but for me, the piece of mind I get from small engines that start every time, a boat that isn't going to leave me stranded a long way from home and an antique truck that runs without problems is worth a little extra expense.
I made the huge mistake of running regular pump gas (ethanol) in our '65 GMC way back when. That crap destroyed ALL fuel lines, two fuel pumps and in the ensuing chaos, caused an engine bay fire on the shoulder of I-66. I never could get the Stromberg carb straightened out so I eventually replaced it with a Holley 300. Truck FINALLY ran good after that.
