Thumbs down Moonshine gas, not good for our old Toyotas.

My 88 3.0 used to idle with a mild shake, I found a local station that still offers 100% gas. I noticed the shake is all but disappeared, better excellaration and fuel mileage. Never going back to the moonshine stuff again. I have been using real gas the last 3 fill ups and still noticing improvement. Just thought I would give a comment on this, it might help someone.

Same price as the "ethanol fuel" here and my 22r loves it. The ethanol stuff makes it run hot. It causes a pinging in my motor and the milage just sucks when I have to use it. When I can I buy the regular 87 octane non ethanol I do and my truck runs better. Just my two cents.
