[urq] Worried about ethanol gas in urq

[Brandon Rogers]

We've had ethanol in our winter gas here in CO for years - I think it used
to affect warm starts with the CIS system - but has no effect on the 3B
motor.  


One tank per year! Blasphemy - get out an drive that urq!!!

I found this map - which indicates that only reformulated gas (i.e. ethanol)
is available for sale in my area near NYC in Ny.   

http://www.epa.gov/otaq/rfg/whereyoulive.htm

I only run my urq once every 6 weeks,  use a gas preservative Sta-bil, and
sometimes only refill the tank once every 1 year.  

I think I read there is political pressure to up ethanol to 15% of gas. 
That will be bad. 

Fortunately the urq has a 24 gallon tank,  if I can find ethanol free gas
120 miles away - I might still have some left when I get home.   ANyone
buying ethanol free gas anywhere in NY or Eastern PA?
