Read this on the Powell site. They think they saw it at the Antelope point marina. Wonder what it costs per gallon. I suspect, a lot.

on Valvtect's site I got the impression it is ethanol gas with their proprietary stabilizer mixed in. What do you think?

Got some abt 10 years ago here in Va at a marina. Ran fine for a fillup in my 22 and never got any more. Got the impression that it was "specially" treated fuel  but didn't taste it.  how would one tell w/o a chemical test?

I get the same impression. They explain the problems that ethanol causes, and say several times that their fuel is "specially treated" (quotes theirs, although I assume it actually is specially treated  ). There is also a green sparkle logo that says "With Ethanol Gasoline Treatment."
I have to think that if their fuel was actually ethanol free, they would be shouting it from the rooftops. Upon careful reading, it sounds a though it is ethanol-laced gas with "special treatment." It seems a little bit weasel wordy to me. Like maybe they are hoping you will think it does not contain ethanol if you don't read carefully. Maybe I'm just being cynical. |
