I actually work for a cell company call center. I have only ever had 2 people want the terabyte iPhone! One lady had 14 grandkids and her phone was full of pictures and videos. LolWow! A terabyte phone! For the kid who’s making movies on his iPhone!
I have no idea where to get gas without ethanol......Most all gas today has some ethanol mixed in. Mostly at 10% for 87 octane through 90 octane. There is Unleaded 88 now for cars built after ‘01 that has 15% ethanol and something called E85 that has up to 85% for Flex vehicles. The ethanol is corn and the gubment pays a lot of subsidies to farmers so you see the Unleaded 88 a lot in the Midwest or so I’m told.
The ethanol gas turns to sugar (that’s what we say around these parts anyhow) if it sits too long. That’s what gums up small engines as they don’t get used as much or sit up over the winter. It’s getting easier to find but you can find gas with no ethanol in it. Like back in the old days….Hi Test or Low Test!. The non-ethanol gas is what you want to use on your small engines.
There is a gal on the UToob that has a good rundown of fuel additives. She uses some science and black magic, but bottom line she claims most of those are hocus pocus and only maybe two actually do what they say! I’ll look for the link when I get the chance and post. *Found her!
I also second the Honda mowers. we’ve had one now for 3 or 4 years. Only run non-ethanol gas in it, it cranks on first or second pull after sitting up for the winter, and it sips fuel. Like, I can get 2 full yard mowings per tank. I’ve never had a mower that I didn’t. have to fill up at least once during a mow. Heard good things about the Toro’s but I think they have Briggs&Stratton engines?
Enjoy the big game today. Since half the tribe is sick, just immediate fam is watching so I’m going to do Cowboy Ken’ts Chili Colorado today. I think I posted the link for it here, but didn’t get a chance to make it last time. Finally…the MZ…

Docs usually don’t take up a lot of space.
It’s probably a lot closer to you than you think, you just may never have noticed it. It’s about a dollar more per gallon than your usual. A lot of places have it at the same pumps as your other gas. At one time I had to search it out, and if you do, here is a handy site to Find a store near you!
About once every other month, I’ll put some non-E gas in the truck. Or at least mix some in. I don’t know if it actually does anything, but it can’t hurt!
More apps...more photos....
For those that want to geek out on gas this morning…If It seems like I’m latched onto this subject like a chihuahua on meth, it’s because I filled the wife’s car up last night and saw this Unleaded 88…never heard of it, but it was .30c cheaper than than the 87 Octane at the pump! So I went home and did some research on it.
I’ll let Scotty K explain it. WARNING…if you get flicker vertigo, don’t watch Scotty’s hands! He’s full of info but hard to watch!

Ours wasn't ceramic. Pretty sure this was one of my mom's "garage sale treasures" and had been homemade. It was made from the artificial tree material you would see on a full size fake tree and the real mini colored lights. Then that fake spray paint flock snow here and there all over it. I forget how the base was put together for it to stand upright. It was only about 8-12 inches tall. So the same size as the ceramic, but not ceramic. With 4 kids? That sucker got knocked over or grabbed numerous times. Ceramic would have been disastrous (mostly for the tree). So I think the materials and construction were another factor maybe??
The far side was just the best!!
I’m not all that techie, but I hate shit in the cloud. Just more bullshit to forget, although it is good for back up.
You can prolly google it or use fuel buddy to find it.
I put full on leaded gas into one Torino. I get it at the local airport. 93 octane leaded fuel for airplanes. Expensive but much better for older engines.
Seeing those old nasty broads makes me wanna drink a lot of liquor.
