Re: Pulsing engine?

["Stephen Andrachek" <s.andrachek@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A car jetted for plain old gasoline will always run lean when alcohol is 
added to the gas.  Alcohol can damage or ruin gaskets in your carb and can 
loosen any goo left behind by your gasoline, like varnish.  Then the bad 
stuff goes into your fuel filter(s) and can plug up your fuel line.  It 
costs less at the pump but not everyone sells it and buy the time you burn 
more of that fuel than you would burn plain gasoline, the price of fuel 
remains pretty much the same.

So should I add some "octane boost" parts store bottled concoction to the 
gas in the Mopar now to see what happens with the regular grade "gas" (10% 
ethanol crud) in there? Or is that "octane boost" stuff more marketing than 
chemistry?

Thanks,
Gary H.
