Ethanol free gas
Just a heads up: I used to run Shell's V-power gas in my outboard because it was ethanol free.
The government has now mandated that ALL service station gas contain ethanol. Shell's V-power now contains ethanol. I stopped at my local station and confirmed this today. This, despite all the pumps still have stickers that say V-power is ethanol free. The attendant's argument was that new stickers are on the way!
My local marina has confirmed that he will still be able to get ethanol free gas.
Just so you know!!!

yes that sucks. Last I was at shell, they told me still ethanol free but they didn't know for how much longer.
Another example how govt goes for what sounds good as opposed to what the science actually proves. Burning food for fuel isn't the solution and sure as hell shouldn't be the only available option.

That's both good and bad. Good that it will be available, bad that you will have to pay marina prices, perhaps even more since it will be like a specialty item.
