So you think you're buying ethanol free gasoline?

I understand your concern. Batteries have come a long ways. I own a construction company and we typically around 12 crews working and anywhere from 60 to 85 carpenters. We made the switch to all Dewalt Cordless tools a few years ago when we figured up the money our company was paying guys to roll out and unroll cords. When I did the math it was pretty much a no-brainer. With that being said, to heck with the push to ban gasoline engines

I will go old school

So, we (the country) are emptying the Ogallala aquifer to grow a thirsty crop (corn) to make alcohol to use as an additive for gasoline. And we (the citizenry) are OK with that?

No. It's pure idiocy.

My Huskavarna is still doing great but it is only one year old. Too soon for carburetor gaskets to start drying out and fuel keys to gunk up. Hopefully the Buc-ees ethanol free gas will help prolong its life (circling back to the start of the thread)
The thing I hate is how parts are so expensive now it is almost cheaper to just replace the whole thing thing than to repair it, which just seems so wasteful.

Stuff isn't really built to last anymore (not that it necessarily ever was), but the companies have zero reason to make them last long now. Can't sell you a new one if the old one works just fine.

My Dewalt hedge trimmer and blower are awesome.

Also, to trade to Mexico. (Thanks for 50 cent an ear corn). However, Mexico just proclaimed they won't accept US GMO corn,. So, it will be interesting to see where corn prices go.
