3/4 tank of gas and 2 cans of Skoal were $95 this morning, don't look at the price anymore as it really doesn't matter. Not like I'm going to skip filling up if the price is too high.

P.S. why the **** do they put such big gas tanks in long beds. It's awesome that I can milk my tank for well over 500 miles but it really spanks the 'ole checkbook when you have to fill it up from the E.

I found a gas station today that sells only 87 octane. Instead of having 3 different octanes of gas, the pumps have all 87, but one has pure 87 octane gasoline, the middle one has 3% ethanol 87 octane gas, and the last one has 10% ethanol 87 octane gas.

Dayum, go find yourself a big ass tank and fill it with that liquid gold. I haven't seen gas without ethanol in a couple of years here. When the ethanol craze was really kicking off there was 1 station that out lasted the rest (local BP aka Neenah Standard) that advertised no ethanol added. I talked to owners of other gas stations that would fill up there just to have no ethanol. It has been about a year since they switched to E10 in all grades of fuel and I can't find anywhere else without it.

I haven't fueled in a marina lately but that's my last thought, boat owners have far and wide shown that E10 has done some serious damage to marine engines so I believe most marinas that offer fuel still have straight gas. They might look at me funny if I go park on the dock to get fuel in my truck though.

Why buy new when you can restore?

It might even be illegal, depending on what taxes are being paid. Fuel sold in a regular station has a federal highway tax added to the price, but I don't know if the fuel at a marina would have that tax added or not. If it doesn't, then it's not legal to use that fuel on a motor vehicle on the highway. Usually the fuel is dyed a different color to indicate this.
