When the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) introduced a mandated 10 percent ethanol addition to gasoline (E10), Arv and I knew we – and our boat – were in trouble. We had owned our beloved 1979 classic Hatteras motoryacht for years, having shipped it cross-country to San Diego when we moved...

If you can find gasoline without it ?
If you can find it costs considerably more than fuel with ethanol, just another factor in the continuing boondoggle, how much more are we going to waste perpetuating this farce!
Wrong! A myriad of state, local, and federal regulations and hidden cap & trade taxes effectively kill any opportunity for many people to buy non-ethanol or E0 gas reasonably without driving great distances of paying very high per gallon rates. It is almost completely impossible to purchase E0 gas in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Long Island, DC, New Jersey, Conn, Rhode Island, Mass, metro St Louise, and metro Chicago. For the rest of the country you can locate E0 gas at Pure-Gas.org which lists every known source of E0 gas in the US and Canada.
ethanol very bad for airplanes as well. at least when the boat motor quits it still floates.
Aren’t these Hatteras’s running Diesels?
Our Hatteras had gasoline engines, hence the problem. — Capt. Nicole Sours Larson
