What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Any others noticed a difference in groceries and gas? Before I left Texas I noticed gas is now 10% ethanol at HEB and HEB stores changed their suppliers again. Prices rose over 200% on some of the pet food.
Edit, for context. Last I saw prices and suppliers rise and change that frequent/significant was during the great toilet paper purge.
The gas stations around where I live always have the non ethanol, at an extra dollar a gallon. Before the prices went up, I was buying it for my car, as I was told by a few mechanics that the ethanol is not good for any engines. Because of all the use of chainsaws and mowers and such, there will always be non ethanol available. Can't be a proper swamp yankee without a chainsaw. I did switch to an electric weed wacker last year, it works pretty good, lighter for me to use .
I was told ethanol corrodes and gives fewer miles per gallon.
It does indeed. On a full 10 gallon tank, I saw a 50% decrease on mileage compared to the old mix. Also I need a new Cat converter now.
How do "they" force everyone to EV r nothing?
It is terrible for marine engines.Retains/collects water.
5% is still available in the UK but at an inflated price. Don't think they'll be able to get rid of it as petrol lawn mowers and other equipment won't run on anything else.
