Yup, same here. I use only Non-ethanol in my V20 since I bought her. There is a Marathon station a couple miles from my house that sells it for 4.09 gallon and a Valero station just down the street from the docks, that sells it for the same price. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I pass 2 places on my way to the water.

There is a Parade station about a mile and a half from my house. Bought 2.5 gallons at $3.95 a gallon for the pressure washer and lawnmower. I spent friday night cleaning carbs on both and now they run like new! The pressure washer had a thick black goo in the fuel hose that ran into the bowl jets needle and flowed out the intake into the air filter. This crap was like tar. Hose deterioration?

Ethanol eats older hoses and you get that nasty black crap in your carbs. I had to rebuild the carbs on my old merc because of that very issue.
