Re: Gas quality



An old (2008) article talks about ethanol and boiling points:
"The addition of ethanol, as well as increased oxygenation, and the removal of lead, has lowered the boiling point of pump fuel significantly in the last few decades. Boiling fuel is the cause of vapor lock, a common problem with older carbureted cars. New cars are built to compensate for this change, but older cars weren't."
