Ethanol free gasoline is available but you have to find it and it will cost more than the E10 or higher stuff. No fuel from food! No government subsidies for ethanol either! Whatever the size or shape of the vehicle, Produce and ‘Drive’ vehicles with high MPG, are very safe and reliable, have a ‘reasonable’ cost and a good ‘value’ for the money. Consider using other forms of less expensive transportation to lower your cost, if possible. The price of fuel at the pump is too high! 12/22/2012!
