Heading back North in a couple of days so washed the Caddy before dark last night.
Have to fix pool filter as the handle points wrong spot ad it'll baffle everyone.
Wife's car still running like crap with high ethanol fuel she put in, hell all 3 of our cars are running badly. Switched to Mid and even premium and helped some.. I'm going broke just buying gas.

Have a good Sunday all you Barn folks and familes...
Morning Rod.

That high ethanol stuff sucks.

Dumb question…..is there a label or some kind of notification on the gas pump for the higher ethanol gas?

Take the rain while you can get it. Hopefully, you don't get any severe storms.

The pump should have a sticker or label informing you of the grade of ethanol.

Morning late risers and lazy people.

I am playing golf today. After the round of golf I have to go back to the airport to pick up my luggage that did not arrive with me on Friday.When I get home I need to decide whether to mow the yard or watch the PGA.

Thanks. I’ve seen the labels that say up to 10% ethanol. I haven’t seen any 15% in our area yet.

I don't think they are required to as they just extended the winter fuel(15%).
I haven't seen any stickers either but it's killing my cars and wallet. If it doesn't clear up I'll be running premium.. Or walking. I'm tuning the honda 80 up for short trips , license plate be damned.

Side note my new zero turn has to run premium now or misses and stutters.

we have 100% ethanol all over the place in OK, but it can be hard to fid in other states I guess.

All we put in our mowers etc but I put premium 91 octane in my volvo, it states up to 10% ethanol.

Ran into your wife at Heard on Hurd last night when she was leaving.

Said she was heading to meet you for grub.

Buc-ees has 0% ethanol. I imagine the price is insane. If I had my boat running, that's what I'd use.

Wife's car didn’t want to start the other night.. Acted like pump was going out... Nope it tested right at specs.
Have a set of injectors that have half the mileage on them and are clean going in tonight.
Gas is 50 cents higher and shit from less than a month ago. Mileage went down about half a mpg also. But hey Biden saved me 12 cents a tank.
