Re: IML: Imperials use a LOT of gas, so it does matter where you buy your gas!

["Bill Watson" <wwatson5@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ethanol is actually an octane booster, usually made from agricultural
products.  Methanol is a another product used by some gasoline companies to
boost octane.  Which is why that sticker is on Amoco's pumps permanently.

Do not know about ethanol, but I know Chrysler advised against the used of
Methanol in the 1981-83 EFI Imperials.
