I have been using the Lucas fuel treatment for years without any issues. I wonder what the real difference is.
But for the past few years I have been able to buy pure gas locally and avoid the issue of ethanol.

One of my car buddies was telling me that if you put a small amount of today's ethanol gas in a clean glass jar, and then allow it to evaporate, it will leave a residue that is plainly visible. Now I don't know whether that is true or not, but it makes for a nice story, especially since my air bleeds have now clogged up two years in a row on almost exactly the same date. Last year it took me a day or two to figure out what the problem was; this year I knew what it was instantly but was still amazed at how quickly it comes on. Frankly, if you've ever had a kidney stone, it's kind of like that -- your Cobra is having a small kidney stone. I remember my very first kidney stone over 25 years ago. On the way to the ER I was sure I was dying.
Now, almost a dozen stones later, I can see them coming a mile away and they are nothing more than a painful inconvenience.
