Probably all comes out of the same tank

We can get ethanol free gas in Mn. but it costs about 75 cents a gallon more than regular 10% Ethanol. I burn Ethanol free in all my small engines. I haven't had one problem with them since going that route. My 1980 Yamaha scooter even picked up about 5 mph burning REAL gas. Ethanol is the biggest energy scam rip-off going. HEAVILY subsidized. It costs about 1.25 to make a dollars worth of it. A lot of the ethanol plants in Mn. have switched to producing other things like benzene and alcohol.

Why on earth would anybody want E15 or E30? Never even knew it existed until now. 5 different gas tanks at the station?

I buy it a across the street from my center. About 75 cents more than the E10 stuff. My Zrx definitely runs better on it. Average mpg up to 46 from 43.

My uncle gave me his walk behind high powered edger last year. Been sitting in garage for a year. Was a little worried , I shouldn’t of been. It started on 2nd pull!!!

Go to the You Tube channel ""Taryl Fixes All" for small engine and mower stuff. Funny and informative.

Strangley, that ethanol-free pump across the street cuts you off at 20 gallons.

Mine is not one of them. A friend sent me that pic.

Bought it Tuesday 7/24- it's a 2017 with 1500 miles on it. Bought it from an 80 year old that is having medical issues. The 2011 Ultra Classic is now for sale. Pretty late in the season to be selling it though so I expect I will be sitting on it all winter.

Actually the wife says she is going to drive it. She has her MC license and I'm nervous.

I've had that little Yamaha longer than anything. It's kind of like my 35 mph mobility cart. Its used mostly to run trash out to the garbage can at the end of the driveway, get the mail and every year I take it to the Sprintcar Capitol of the -World-Knoxville, Ia.- for 10 nights of racing. I leave on Tuesday for my 23rd year there. Its the only way to get around that town during race days.
