RE: Our Re: [Chrysler300] Ethanol-exempt vehicles?

I found a site that lists 28 stations in Maryland and 18 in California that have or recently had gasoline without ethanol. They list octane, also. Check it out and let us know. All states and Canada are listed. I’ve also seen racing gas advertised on west Hiway 4 in Stockton.

To our knowledge there are NO non-ethanol gas stations in our whole state, let alone the big city Baltimore/DC Metro. area. We are surprised that so many other states have non-ethanol fuel available!!! Maryland can't be the only state like this. Anybody else out there in a state that doesn't give their citizens a choice?

If we are wrong, please let us know where to go (other than an airfield). We have no airplane numbers to use. Anything near the extreme eastern Mason Dixon Line on the Pa. side? The ones in the Lancaster area are either closed or no longer offer the fuel. Of course the law of diminishing returns plays in. We can only go so far to get it.

Anybody got anything?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Any motor vehicle or gas fired engine in the state of Iowa can use the non-ethanol gas, including modern iron. We just have to pay a price premium for it; about $0.40/gallon more than the ethanol crap which, of course, is artificially discounted to promote usage. And most folks here will buy the ethanol crap simply because it is the cheapest gas, and they could care less about what it does to their engines or vehicles, or are simply clueless about it. The ethanol pumps have stickers that say “cleaner air for Iowa” or something to that effect which is absolute bunk. I don’t know how the farmers feel about it, but a big part of our state economy is based on agriculture or ag related.

If older farm vehicles can be exempted from using ethanol-contaminated gasoline, is there any reason that our older pre-ethanol 300's can't get a similar exemption? Or is that just another perk our wonderful government has bestowed upon (bribed) the farmers who will grow the virtually inedible variety of corn used to make ethanol?

What I meant was…

Lots of the older farm equipment require non ethanol fuel,

Not a problem finding it at all around here, thank goodness!

Plus, it makes all my old Kohlers in Cub Cadets purr like a kitten!!

Wait, what ????!!

The ethanol is mandated by the politicians for the sole purpose of supporting the Iowa corn farmers who support the politicians for supporting mandated ethanol, and the Iowa farmers who grow corn for ethanol get to have plentiful non-E gas for their own use???

You have GOT to be kidding !!!

Can a country secede from itself?

Terry and All:

Knock on wood----I have not had the ethanol trouble---at least not yet! A couple weeks ago I started up my 300F for the first time in over a year (ashamed of that!) and took it for a fairly exuberant drive. It started very well with a little gasoline poured in each carb, and ran just fine. I will say that one of my stops on that little excursion was a fill up with NON-ethanol fuel at the local Marathon station. At least I feel better now!

300ly, Gil C.

I just read in Autoweek mag Jay Leno's essay on the evils of ethanol. In my 300F I have been running a mix of 100+ octane leaded aviation gas and pump premium spiked with the normal amount of ethanol. Has anybody in the Club experienced any problems with today's ethanol-infused gas? Jay talks about rubber parts (in fuel pumps, for example) being eaten up and ensuing engine fires. Terry McTaggart
