I've used a stabilizer in the final tank of the season on my bikes but with the RV (220 liter tank) it's an expensive proposition.  But from now on.....

All Domo Gas stations in BC as of July 17,24. are ethanol free on their 91, on independent nozzle, and are advertising ethanol free.

If ethanol was mandated by government to be in all gasoline how do some fly under the radar. Domo/Co-op ? Totally happy it's available and hope to find some around Kamloops.

   I have to assume that the small gas suppliers must be having trouble sourcing ethanol, by contract because of their minimal influence compared to the mega size retail competition.

   I should re-emphasize that for those who don't care about the 10% ethanol mandate, please know that I understand, but that there are certain fuel systems including nylon fuel tanks that don't do well with ethanol.

I run regular fuel all the time, except the the last tank or two prior to storage. I would then add quality stabilizer for storage.

Something I wonder about is why some gas retailers bother.  If the gubmint mandates 10% ethanol, what’s in it for retailers to source and sell it.  Why would suppliers bother for such a small overall market.  Of all the drivers out there, there is a relatively small percentage that are willing to search out and drive a greater distance to get it.

  I tried reading it. I’ve never voted for the utter heathens that invented this clean fuel standard or carbon tax requirement, so am not versed in that particular language.
