Wow... I hate to weigh in here...but why not? I'll keep it clean and a-political. In Georgia many of the larger stations are now selling regular, non-ethanol gas. If I remember correctly, it's about .50 more per gallon than regular ethanol blended fuel. In Florida, I have'nt noticed it being sold anywhere yet. I've had one fuel related problem ever and that's after I had my KLR for about 6 months. The carburetor gummed up which kept the bike from running right and I had to take it back to the dealer to get it cleaned. They blamed it on the heat in Florida and my 'lack of use'. I blamed it on the fact that it was a 'left-over' and that the carb problems started when they had it in the back. They said it was stored 'dry' but who knows. Since I moved the bike to Georgia, I've had no problems. And that was 4 years ago. I keep Stabil marine formula in all of my bikes and my boat and have yet to have another issue. For now, in my opinion, it's a waste of time worrying about it. If they go to a higher level of Ethanol, then I'll worry, gripe, complain, etc... but not before.
