Hey Russell,

Sorry, guess I wasn't clear enough: I was trying to connote

exactly that ("we're

... splitting hairs") with my comment about the difference

being 1.75% and that

oxygenation has a *greater* (laboratory) effect and we

don't even notice it.

Agree completely.

I don't think so.  I believe the STCs prohibit mogas

oxygenated with *ethanol*.

Mogas oxygenated with MTBE or ETBE isn't a problem; see:
http://autofuelstc.com/pa/faq.html

My mistake.  Locally, when we discuss oxygenated fuel problems, we are
assuming ethanol is the additive....  You are correct in that MTBE and ETBE
usually aren't a problem.

I think we are agreeing on the principals and just differ on some of the

technical

nitty-gritty.

Yep.  We should be having this discussion in person over a beer. :)

Smooth Air,
