[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3333579, member: 15054"] I do know 7-11 fuel up the street used to be all 10% Ethanol and my cars ran great on it. Especially my old cars with 350" chevy carbed and 10.78 compression and higher. Then they bought the corner lot and moved into that and new store and pumps and NO more 10% Ethanol 91 octane. It was now 100% gas. My 2 hot rod cars hated it..PING PING PING! I had to pull timing and it still ran kind of crappy..I had to rejet and it was better but down on power. There are still stores that sell the 10% 91..I have used the Loves fuel and it is crap. Then fuel from circle K was not any better. The search continued for good 10% in 91 octane and Sinclair had it . Circle K 87 octane at 10% does not run well in my Corolla or Vibes. Not all fuels are mixed the same as we know. I feel the added oxygenates in 10% help with fuel atomization a little bit.. Or like it was meant to do creates more complete combustion. When you are living on the edge of a radical tune little changes in octane or burn rate will ruin you. I wish they would bring back leaded fuel. Since they took out the lead the general public has became much more ignorant. Is it that lead helps brain function. :) [/QUOTE]
