I can find non-ethanol gasoline at every gas station around.  Costs
about 50 cents more per gallon.  The only people I know who buy it are
driving high-end vehicles such as Mercedes, BMW's & Porsches.

They like a little water in their gas. It stops the fuel lines from

Bad gas seems to be a thing on the mainland. I've had to change fuel
filters several times in California and Washington State. The extremes
in temperatures probably causes water vapor to condense on the walls of
the fuel tanks at the gas stations and cars. The water vapor sinks to
the bottom of the tanks and creates rust in the tank.

We don't have this problem in Hawaii, where the temperatures don't go
bonkers, thank God. My assumption is that ethanol in the gas allows
water in the tanks to go into solution with the gasoline and be burnt in
the engine. That's a good thing - maybe.

You forgot to say "da Hawaiians". At least you said "Hawaii".
