[QUOTE="Bill Koonce, post: 934435, member: 68938"] Travis is right. Unless you're uncle is willing to put his name behind his words, and show his credentials, his word is no better than the next guy's. In fact it's worse in this case because Eddie S used prejudicial, leading language. He also failed to ask about situations like mine. So even if Uncle is an expert, the sad fact is that Nephew is asking Uncle to take Nephew's side, and not be objective. These two points make Uncle's reply worthless to everyone except Nephew. I was amused that Uncle did tacitly endorse Sta-Bil by name after refusing to mention the name of other products. :rofl: FYI my Sta-Bil label says that it's [i]specifically[/i] made for use with gasoline containing ethanol. BTW, since my 10 year old Mustang with less than 20,000 miles on the odomeder needed not only a new in-tank filter, but [i]a whole new fuel pump[/i] as well without Sta-Bil, I'm going to go with my real and true experience over the musings of Uncle X. As a past and present resident of corn-producing states, I know that Uncle was wrong about why ethanol is used in place of TEL, MTBE or other octane boosters. The real reason is that farming has become Big Business, and lobbyists from giant farming corporations like Con Agra spend lots of money on lobbyists. Those lobbyists have earned their pay. Today it's practically impossible to buy gasoline that doesn't contain ethanol. [/QUOTE]
