I use the Shell station on MacArthur drive in North Little Rock. They normally have 100% gas. 4123 MacArthur Drive, North Little Rock

I just looked it up, I actually use the Phillips 66 on MacArthur Drive more now because it's easier to get in and out of their lot with the way the roads are set up. 5421 MacArthur Drive.
thanks again, am headed that way in a few to fill er up. Paul
I would be careful getting the premium non ethanol, I put some in my boat 2 different times from 2 different stations and got bad gas both times. I think because premium is more expensive and non ethanol maybe even more so, that they don't sell as much and it and it sets in the tanks too long and starts to go bad. It's my understanding that gasoline starts to degrade significantly after about 30 days.
hmmm, thanks for the heads up. certainly would not have thought about that, but it makes good sense. will just use the cheaper blend then. I have been using premium ethanol, but decided I better change to non-ethanol. does it matter in this day and age with 4 stroke motors and fuel lines?
MD, do you happen to know Ricky Platt? played football with him at State College of Arkansas (now UCA), back in the late 60's and early 70's (I am originally from Newport).
I know some Platt's from Batesville but not Ricky.
well, I am 65 and he would either 64 or 65. probably kin of some sort.Quote:

You can find regular gas anywhere in the country here.

Only 3 because you didn't post more. BWAHAHAHAHAHAQuote:

If near Lake Conway, there is one off of Hwy 64, north of the lake. It is called the Hwy 64 Store. Good original name.
I know Rick--lives up the street from me. He was a good athlete. His mom and dad were fine folks.
tell him that Paul McGinnis from Newport and UCA tells him hi.
thanks for all the info on the gas all, it will save me several hundred not having to get new gas lines and a carb clean up
Typicall your high octane grades of 93 will not contain ethanol. I treat all of my fuel with a fuel stabiler called sea foam. I used to have to put carb kits in my outboards before discovering sea foam and now I never have fuel issues in any of my outboards or other small engines.
thanks, re, I bought a product called Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment (Starbite) from Bass Pro that says it cures ethanol fuel problems. Any input on this product???
Can't say about starbite but never fuel my boat without seafoam. But I don't think it rectifies ethanol. Just stabilizes fuel from forming varnish if left in your tank too long.Quote:

My 2 stroke, I did put some seafoam in it this year during duck season, but that's the first time I've ever put any additive in it.
I've heard it's a good product but never tried it. If it's like Stabil, it doesn't STOP ethanol phase separation, it slows it down.Quote:

In the older models it's the fuel lines deteriorating inside. If you burn through your fuel and don't store it for extended periods, the ethanol runs fine in the newer models with Ethanol resistant lines. It's the long term storage that's the worst thing to do. Lots of guys duck hunt and put their engines up until next season. That's a big No No with ethanol. Course I love it when they do that. Cha Ching!!! [emoji6]Quote:
