I sympathise. We have Unleaded, Premium Unleaded AND [wait for it]

Unleaded with some lead added.... Used to be called Super.

Now they're adding Ethanol and screwing up engines everywhere. Marine motors
failing, lawn mowers blowing up and the bastards won't disclose the ethanol
content. The Federal gummint says it's a state problem to regulate while the
states say because it's a national problem the Feds should fix it.

Meanwhile vehicle manufacturers say "you've voided your warranty".

Collective heads in the sand to protect the sugar industry. Let's start a war
and divert attention from it. Jesus... Sometimes... Sometimes I wish they'd
remove their collective heads from between their legs. Ain't rocket science to
display a sign which says:

"This fuel contains 18% ethanol to protect our profits and screw you in more
ways than one, sorry about your motor"
