Ok . I have been reading these letters about octane and CA new gas and I
can't resist blurting it out any more!
The old gas that CA used to use in the winter to reduce emmisions was a
alcohol mixture of 10%.  This does reduce emmisions.
However since CARB has gotten thier dirty little fingers further into the
fuel supply, The mixture has changed from alcohol to something else, I
can't remember, but I also have noticed a deteration in performance in my
car and my truck.  my $.02.  GIVE US BACK THE ALCOHOL!!!!

Excuse my ignorance:  Is this (MTBE) what oxygenates the fuel
in Calif?  I've noticed my car pinging *more* since this gas started
being used year round.  Yet I believe someone said this adds
octane.  Did I remember that wrong?

Thanks,
