You bet there is. The powers that be in Colorado have had us on this robber for years. The gentleman that bought our Caballero has gone through two fuel pumps in the last two years. The last one to be installed was with ethanol compatable materials. The fuel lines that are rubber need to be replaced with compatable ones. The same goes for carburetor kits. Do the math, if the ethanol reduces your emisions 10 percent, and the ethanol reduces your milage 10 percent. What is the Gain?

after some research it appears that only some brands here have the 10% and it most be displayed on the pump. Mobil is 10% but Citgo is not.

If you have a cork float in your gas tank or carburetor, it will eventually sink unless you coat it with a sealer other that the shallac that the factory used.
