John This came in from Dame Bang Bang, by the way.

Adam Oh, all right.

John This is a pre-July 4th Tip of the Day. It’s for people who are going to drive, which I think is most people. There’s a website you should put on your list of websites called pure-gas.org.

And this is a list of all the gas stations in the country that don’t put ethanol in the blend.

Because a lot of people don’t like it. It’s not necessarily good for a lot of cars to have ethanol because a lot of people put 10% ethanol in their gasoline to stretch it. And the ethanol is sometimes dangerous to certain hoses and things.

Adam Pets. Hey! My gas station in Fredericksburg is on the list.

John Yeah, well there—it’s one of the stations. Now that said, I will mention that this family here, we have two cars that pretty much run ethanol. The E85 flexor gas cars are fabulous because right now in California, if you have an E85 car, you can use 85% ethanol. And it sells for $3.50 as opposed to $6.

But yeah, pure-gas.org is for people that are freaky about their gasoline. They want pure gasoline and not watered down.

Adam Now I know that I am getting my gas at the right place. These people are good. I like these people. It’s a family-owned business, too.
