- You'll have to go farther than that. I buy my gas at a station/mom
- 'n' pop grocery 1/4 mile from my house on the Peninsula. They have a
- 250 gallon tank. They have to sell gasohol, too. You'd have to
- go to Shelton (Mason Country) to get the unadulterated fuel.

- There is precious little lead in "leaded" gas nowadays, and it will
- soon be illegal anyway. I doubt if it would harm a catalytic
- converter unless used over tens of thousands of miles, but I'd bet
- there's ethanol in that, too.
