Pro tip:

If you live anywhere near a lake that allows public boating, many gas stations carry "recreational" ethenol free gas, sometimes premium.

My Harley loves it.

Might be dependant on what state you live in too...

Besides.....it's going to make Bourbon more expensive..... which is reason enough not to do it.
That ship has already sailed. I remember when Eagle Rare was $32 a fifth, now, if one can even find it, it's $59

Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant.

There's no such option in many places.

I had my Nova carburetor rebuilt ($260), and they made it Ethanol-safe. Tonight I'm picking up a new fuel pump, because the original is from the 1970s and the modern replacements can handle ethanol. Even with that, I'm planning to keep using ethanol-free gas as long as it's available here only 5 miles away.

Yeesh... I gave up mainstream news long ago but I see I'm not missing much... all the major networks peddling the January 6th insurrection narrative.... makes me wonder how many here still think 9/11 really happened the way it was reported... you think using the media as a propaganda tool is a new thing..... it's not...

I haven't actually sat down and watch this guy's show... pretty good material.... aside from his exaggerated emotional responses which he could tone down... he's right though... it's insane they even talk like that... like some strange 1984 rehearsal video, when you see through the eye of the red pill lens that exposes the clown show called government, society, and culture for what it really is... control.

Darkest chapter in this nation's history... a CIA/FBI false flag event where they allowed protesters to enter a building then arrested them for it. Basically a form of entrapment. They even arrested people for standing outside the building. Clown world with puppets on strings running this country and the propaganda machines on the major media networks. Reporters as actors playing their part, reporting what they are told to report, as caricatures embellishing history to mold a certain narrative. All scripted. All fake. But not Tucker.... well much less than the others...

We have food scarcity and record inflation and our leaders demand we burn crops with our own cars. They hate us.
