??10% Ethanol OK??

[bordin34]

Gas stations around me in NJ are starting to sell gas with 10% ethanol because the goverment is requireing it to reduce emmisions. Would this be OK to put in my 1974 Charger with a stock 318?

It most likely had it back in the late 70's back then it was called gashol,  samething 10% I remember people did not like it, motors run a little rough when cold and gas milage went down, not every station had it , the ones that did the gas was cheaper so some try not to use it and some like it cause it was cheaper and if you jet the carb up a little it ran fine. It is harder on the gas lines and carb but nothing will happen for a long time. What can you do? Not drive it, no way so go ahead and use it, might want to upgrade your ignition to increase the spark and go up one or two jet sizes if the motor seems lean. Sometimes the carb is already to rich so it won't matter. They are always messing around with the gas first it was the lead, then gashol , then oxygen added to the gas now its back to gashol .

Brazilian Mopars use that gas with ethanol since ever.
