Shockin' Find

[SONNY]

Just found a Casey's store that sells NON-ETHANOL GAS!!!--91 octane, and $2.75, alki at $2.15 and premium 91 octane alki at $2.45 --- and----and---- it's only 11 miles from here!!!---New station just open!!---Sad part is that they don't sell BIO-FREE DIESEL at this location!!! cant win um all!!! Didn't think ANYONE would ever offer good gas again!! thanks; sonny

Local Conoco sells lead free gasoline. Problem for me is that it's considerably higher in price than ethanol regular.

Handy list, but nothing within 75 or more miles of me that I saw.

I think the price is the shockin find! Stations near me that offer pure gasoline charge $4.25 per gallon.

It is not cheap!!!---for sure, BUT for all my chainsaws, I am willing to choke the price!!!----K-1 kerosene here is $ 4.99.9, and I can't do much in the shed without a bit of heat.---I do have to keep a little on hand during the real cold part of the year in case the well and the basement pipes freeze.----also for K-1 heater in house IF there is power failure.
Life gets expensive!! thanks; sonny
P.S. John!!!--- I could set up a gas runner!---Like the ole moonshine, only do it with good gas!!!! LOL!!!!----Virginia says YEA RIIIIGHT! LOL!!!!

From personal experience I have found that the low sulfur highway diesel burns as clean as or maybe even a little cleaner than the K-1 in the torpedo heaters. I have been told by others that it also works good in the wick type heaters, but the wick does have to be replaced a little more often.

As to leaded gas, it has not been available in this area for several years, but I mix Stabil in my gas when I buy it, and have not had any problem with weed eaters, 2 cycle tiller, or chainsaw setting for several months at a time and starting right up. Same goes for 4 cycle stuff, tractors, big tillers, ZTR, generators, etc. When the unleaded first came out I had some problems with the carb diaphragms and fuel lines on the older stuff, but once they were replaced they have gone for years with a lot of neglect and no problems.
