Ethanol is today's greatest example of our Ralph Nader type government at work for us. One of it's dummer moves. Made the corn growers happy but there's no science data out there to support it has anything good to offer the engine at all.

If you don't run the jeep a lot then it may be worth your while to shop for ethanol free gas. Try the off road and marine gas sources and don't overlook aviation gas. 100LL is a bit high on octane for you but mixed 50/50 with your ethanol free car gas gives you about the same lead content we had through the early 60's and about an average 90 octane. Plus the 100LL will negate any need for additives and stores well for at least 2 years.
