Yep that sucks big time doesn't it mate. Wish I could send you some cheaper fuel for Christmas. (Enjoy the Doctor Who though!)
I have used ethanol blended fuel in the past - and while I can't say there is a direct link, it bothers me that during the 2 short periods when I WAS using it the engine in the car got cooked each time - $3k for a short engine replacement the first time, $5k for a long engine the 2nd. This is a car I've had now for 9 years, the ONLY major engine probs were during these short (2 month or so) periods. I either use LPG now, or the non-ethanol stuff. I can't afford to try it a 3rd time, I don't have thousands of dollars sitting around.
