Not offended, just concerned. I used to run the mandated ethanol in all my engines. Water toys, 'bird, lawnmowers, cars, chain saw, etc. I constantly had problems with every one of them. Engine buddy suggested using only 100% gasoline. I switched from using 10% ethanol blend back to 100% gasoline about four or five years ago. Every single engine now runs perfect. Every mysterious issue I had is now gone. I had been running my GXP with ethanol blend for the past couple of years. I was getting 22 MPG highway. A month ago I switched to eliminate the blend, and boy did the POWER ever return! I am now getting almost 29 MPG for the same driving. At about 20 cents per gallon more, (go figure??) I am getting 31% better milage at 10% additional cost. Fortunatly I live in a rural area and "real" gasoline is readily available at the local stations. The station owners tell me they sell a ton of it, and with better margins than blended fuel, they are happy to look the other way when people fill up their modern cars and toys. I read that congress is considering dropping the mandate 'temporarily' due to the 2012 drought. I STRONGLY feel that the ethanol 'experiment' should be permanently ended and considered a total failure!
