Howdy! Darly,

 DS> Ed,

 EV>Is there any place in Arkansas that sells Regular Gasoline?

 DS>   If you mean "leaded regular gasoline", the answer is no.
No, not Leaded Regular Gasoline, I thought that You wouldn't had thought
I was talking about Leaded Gas since Stations only sell Unleaded Gas and
Unleaded Gas mixed with ethanol.

 EV>Some years ago a trip took me through Arkansas both ways, and the Stations
 EV>I bought Gas at only had Gas mixed with Corn Alcohol. [ Ethanol ]

 DS>   The Kum 'N Go franchises have that, but I don't know if the 3 brands

 DS> noted otherwise.

 EV>Its confusing.
Someone wrote some time ago that the Ethanol/Alcohol will mix with any
Water in the gas tank and pick up any rust in the tank too, causing the
Fuel Filter to clog up.

Your Mileage May Vary.

 DS>   For sure. I remember a few years ago, some places were recycling the

I read an article (iirc) about a Diesel Fire Engine traveling from the U.S.
South Bound to be delivered almost to the very end of South America.

The people driving it stopped at restrauants(sp?) along the way if they
couldn't locate a service station selling Diesel Fuel.

I either read about that or saw a TV Show about the trip.
The Fire Engine got to the people who ordered it.

 EV>I wish there was a National Regulation saying that the Sign showing the
 EV>Price of Gasoline had to be a different color Sign for places that don't
 EV>sell 100% Gasoline.

 DS>   Ever since I can remember, the gas has always had 9/10 of a cent per
 DS> gallon (i.e. 2.49.9). Why don't they just round if off to $2.50??

That .9 is another subject, I was writing about a regulation for Unleaded
Gasoline Stations and Stations selling Unleaded Gasoline with Ethanol added.

To Me 100% Gasoline doesn't have the additive called Ethanol in it, even
now when Gasoline is Unleaded.

In my mind I think I remember seeing in a catalog or somewhere a can with
a liquid to pour in the Gas Tank of cars that needed Lead to run properly.

 EV>The Ethanol markings on the pump usually are on the side, not the front of
 EV>the gas pump where I select the Grade of Gas I want.

 DS>   I think that's the way it is here as well.

As high of a price that Gasoline is, I don't want to spend my money at the
Pump to put Ethanol in my Gas Tank, wheather it is 15%, 10% or 1%, I don't
want to buy Gas with that stuff in it unless no one in the area sells REAL
GASOLINE (unleaded, of course).

 EV>Are You buying Gas at the Kroger Grocery Store Gas Pumps?
 EV>I've never got Gasoline at the Store.

 DS>   Yes...but, not all the area Krogers have fuel stops in front of the
 DS> store.

Same-O, Same-O here.

 EV>Example: If I put Thirteen Gallons in the tank I save $1.30 using Krogers
 EV>card.

 DS>   For Kroger, it's 10 cents a gallon off, for every $100 you spend, up
 DS> to $1 off. Points earned in the current month, expire at the end of the

 DS> off per gallon...and every little bit helps.

Sure!
