[Farmall] Sta-Bil

Sat Jul 17 14:50:11 PDT 2010

 We can buy premium gas (for recreational vehicles) at all of the Kwik Trips
in Wisconsin.
I run it in my IH trucks and tractors.

  Last I looked Wisconsin was still in the US.  I know that people on the
left and right coast have no idea where we are except that it is up north by
Canada.  LOL

I know Becker and Billie Bob know where Wisconsin is because they have the
T-shirts to prove it.

As I understand it, ALL Gas now contains ethanoal, it was mandated when the
price of gas went so high 2-3 years ago. Also it does not have to be listed
anymore either. So the other 2 Stations probly also have it as well. The
only way you can live in an area where its not added is not to live in the
USA.

Of the three stations that I frequent, I did notice that one has a very
small sign on the pump denoting 10 percent.  I stopped going to that one. 
Does that mean that the other two do not have added alcohol?  I don't know,
but it is not stated on the pumps.  Being EPA mandated, we will all be under
the cloud at some point.  It could be the best is yet to come??
