Well, you don't NEED the 101. And, if it's sold at the race track, it's technically for off-road use. I don't think it will necessarily have any ethanol in it.

I far as I can see, ethanol isn't so bad, it's what it does to older fuel lines, the early metal MFI stacks over time (due to "stand off"), cars with carbs, etc. But, as a fuel, it's OK. A little less performance is to be expected, but it does have its advantages like absorbing water and cleaning the fuel system, the above about system deterioration notwithstanding.

You might not have this problem with better gas, even with some ethanol. We don't have much choice until summer anyway.
