Danny,

Why mix the fuel? The engine manual for my engine, the O-320-D1F, 160 HP
specifies 80/87 octane fuel. What is to be gained by mixing?

The real problem is getting auto fuel without ethanol. Moisture will =
combine
with the ethanol effectively sucking it out of the fuel and laying it at =
the
bottom of the tank. Without the ethanol, the octane is lowered. Ethanol =
may
or may not also eat the coating off of the gas tanks. I have seen this
happen.

3 years ago, many auto gas stations in Michigan sold fuel without =
ethanol
but not any more. Last year I tested the fuel at 12 gas stations. All =
had
changed to a methanol mixture. The only 3 airports that I have been able =
to
find that still sell non-ethanol auto fuel are in Marshall, Mi, =
Chesapeake,
Va and Barnwell, SC.
