    Remember the old Sunoco Custom Blending pumps? They took just two grades of gas and mixed them in different proportions to make 7 different "Grades" of Gas.

    Then there is that 90% of the "Chevron 87" in the tank is "non-ethanol"...

    Is it Racetrack Non Ethanol diesel? Don't know if Bullydog makes a chip for the Tacoma , you could roll some sweet coal. You just got to force that diesel nozzle in there.

    FWIW I buy Ethanol free 89 Oct whenever I can, my 1980's motorcycle and all my small engine yard equiment HATES ethanol so I found a station local to me that sells 0% ethanol "boat fuel." That said I'm not afraid to get 10% ethanol when it's not convenient. I just try to stick to top teir gas brands.

    I did get approached by a lady once while filling up with the blue ethanol free pump whom was trying to save me from putting "the diesel" in my truck as apparently she did that once and destroyed her husbands car. I couldn't get her to understand that I was simply putting in gasoline with 0% corn oil. In the end "I'm just a stupid guy who's going to ruin my engine with the diesel." Wat!?

    :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    My daughter did fill her Chevy Cobalt up with diesel once. I'm sure if she would have had some Racetrack non-ethanol to blend with it, we wouldn't have had to tow it home.
