[PAAirheads] Blender Pumps

[Larry A. Mansfield]

On the other side many Royal Farms now offer ethanol free gas at certain 
pumps.  You have to pay more to not have ethanol but it's well worth it 
on our aged engines!  What I find disturbing is that we pay through our 
taxes and subsidies to have ethanol included and then we get to pay more 
to have it removed.  God Bless American politics.
