There are a couple of stations in the Mocksville, NC area that sell pure 93 octane gas and one station that sells it in 87. I hate the ethanol, causing all kinds of problems with my 78 Chevy pick-up, had to pull the carb a couple of days ago to clean the mess out of it, and going to have to do again in the morning. And I just did a complete rebuild of the carb about 8 months ago, and have to pull it about every 3 months to clean it out and re-tune. The ethanol messes things up more than you can imagine to where I may have to order carb kits from Cliff on the average of three per carb at least 4 times a year, and that folks will get expensive. Going to try the Sea Foam and see if that cuts down on the maintainance.

A.W., if they force E15 on us then we're all in for big trouble.

Gary, I think that's a "when", not an "if"...........

Yes we are. And I'm not about to buy a newer truck. I can't afford it and they aren't built as good as the old ones as far as frames and springs are concerned IMO. With what I have had to go through with getting the wifes car (96 Chevy Corsica) to pass emissions inspections down here I don't want that hassle every year with anything else.
