How much more is the ethanol free gas typically? Unfortunately ehtanol free gas does not exist in MA that I know of. Right now I think 93 is running about $3.85 a gallon up here but that's with 10% ethanol.

Purchase 40 gallons of premium for my G23 Saturday. I had not bought gas for about 2 months for the boat. There was some sticker shock.

I stil want a small V8 with an electric integrated motor assist and a continuous variable transmission in my boat. The electric motor would just run for 15 seconds to give an instant burst of torque and help the gas engine get the rider up/boat to speed. The CVT would further allow adequate hole shot but lower RPM at desired speed.

The technology for this set up is already used in various industries. Must however be cost prohibitive.

i believe 93 octane w/ ethanol was $3.799

An adjustable wake plate would get you a fair amount of that fuel savings. I haven't had any ethanol issues, but my top speed is down 4mph and that's hard to blame on 300lbs of lead ballast. It's also cost me 2mpg in my truck, I would have to do a little math on that to justify it in everything, but I would love to have the option of no ethanol.

$4.03 per gallon for 93 here in VA. E10.

I have recently started to use lucas ethanol fuel conditioner in my vehicles...not so much to improve fuel economy and performance (although, I am seeing some minimal improvement in both)...but rather for the purpose of minimizing the harmful effects of ethanol. I have not tried Sea Foam (recommended by nautique) as it seems more expensive per gal of gasoline. Anyone else seeing any results?

We filled our 500 gallon tank up for 2.98 Gal in early Jan. That should take us into Sep.

How do you keep that gas fresh?

[TX-Foilhead]

If its sealed up I haven't had any problems keeping it that long. That's in a metal can with a good lid and no vent. I would be more worried about using a lot of the wrong blend at the wrong time of the year. I can't remember exactly what each blend does, but there are some reasons why they have to switch from winter to summer.

That's a great deal though, we buy gas and diesel where I work for emergency purposes and use it in the vehicles to keep the stockpile fresh. We never seem to get deals that save us much when they tax on the delivery fee.

$.75 / gallon...or 8 bucks to fill up the Kia Sportage over here in Riyadh. Unfortunately, I own nothing with a motor over here. Not only do we get raped at home, but the gas is NO comparison. The minimum octane is 90 here but the normal is 95...it smells different...reminds me of the turbo blue, race gas sorta smell.
Ethanol really sucks.
Farmers and construction guys near home get away with their tricks, but if they ever got checked...that would be my luck.
Needless to say, I am not looking forward to paying the fuel bill this summer.

Toronto Canada Dollar is pretty much at par.

regular gas on the street is $1.30/litre which is $4.92/gallon
on the lake it is $1.50/litre which is $5.68/gallon

My race car uses 110 octane. I burn about 1 litre/minute
110 octane at the track is $4.30/litre which is $16.28/gallon

You guys got it pretty good.

I live right on the canadian/american border in Niagara on the lake and the only time I fill up in Canada is when I am DESPERATE. I make the short run across the border couple times a week during the summer for cheap gas and beer!!

Here in Western WI, we can get 87 octane with NO ethanol at 2 local stations for the same price as E10, or $3.65 per gallon.

What I'm thinking is they would generally be the same price matching your example. If a station is one penny more than the competition for any product, the buyers go across the street.

Now if its the only station, near a lake, across the street from the boat ramp....it might be a littler more
