Agree. My brother had constant hot start issues in his '74 GTO w/461, and you could hear the fuel boiling in the carb bowls. After he started using ethanol free gas, the issue went away. Now he and I only use ethanol free gas in our old cars. Even 10% ethanol blended gas (which is what most pumps have) significantly lowers the boiling point.
