After a week in AZ, a week at conclave, 10 days touring CO & NM, and now heading home to MA, it's amazing how well the Healey (BJ8) runs on Ethanol Free gas when we can find it. A noticeable (huge) d

Also they run hotter with Ethanol. I was running about 15 degrees hotter with 10% Ethanol. Another problem that is starting is the rubber fuel lines are softening and starting to leak after a period

What difference did you notice--besides probably slightly lower mileage with the ethanol blend--assuming same octane ratings? Is your car harder to start with ethanol blend? Does it idle/run rougher

We've had 10% ethanol in all blends of petrol for a long time. I've had no problems with any fuel line, pump, etc on my BT7. It does run hot but it has always done it evenafter a rebuild and 4 core r

The gas stations here on Long Island have been selling gas with 10% ethanol for years and I have not had any issues with higher coolant temperatures even in the hot weather we have been having in the

Not sure if it's 15 deg higher, but I do know my 100 runs much hotter on today's gasses than any of my other Healeys in the past. They always ran a little hot, now my car runs way more than a little
