I agree with you 110% .
This ethanol-laced gas is absolute JUNK at a minimum , and is downright horrible -- corrosive as HELL -- for our beloved classics .
I worked at a Full-Service gas station from '89 - '92 .
All day long I was around the gas' vapours and liquid forms ; I didn't find it to be sensory-offensive .
For the last ~6 years , I've find myself holding my breath around California's gas vapours ; it's TERRIBLE !
At this year's Spring Fling , a '63 Savoy idly-cruised by ; I could smell its tetraethylene gas vaopurs wofting from its stainless exhaust .
The smell ?
Sweet .
Sweet as a Spring day .
