Default Got Gas?

The Merkle gas is barely legal and highly volatile!!! haha...As far as the traditional gas, the gov. requires the use of a special chemical additive to comply with the Clean Air Act. The abbreviation of the chemical is MTBE, which is carcinogenic!!! It cannot be boiled out of water, filtered out, or anything so if it does reach the water table, then it could be an ecological disaster. In fact, entire towns have been shut down because filling stations tanks leaked it out into the water table. Without potable water, the town could not exist so property value went to $0 and the people abandoned the town.....think that was out west somewhere. The E-10 has always worked fine for me, of course I've only used it for about the past year and a half and as previously mentioned, the fuel stabilizer additive by StaBil makes it work even better, but still doesn't hold a candle to the Merkle Gas!
