You should move out here to the left coast in Ca. We have MTBE in our gas
per CARB, only costs 20 cents a gal more, paid 1.23 for 87 today, it loses
about 10% MPG and HP, and is getting in our drinking water so bad they are
banning boats and jet skis from the lakes, it smells and tastes awful and
they do not know how harmful it is for you yet, but they require it for our
own good.
Please excause the spelling but I am trying to do this post in between
earthquakes today.
