Are You Really Getting the Gas You Paid For? Testing Ethanol Content at the Pump

Does a high ethanol blend actually have any negative effect on a bike?

Ethanol blending itself is part of environmental measures, so a higher ratio isn't inherently a bad thing.

Would love to see fuel-quality checks like this done occasionally in Japan too.

Suspicions like this coming up amid rising fuel prices feels very of-the-moment.

They bill it as debunking a conspiracy theory, but with a sample of just 4 stations it's still statistically pretty shaky.

Checking the ethanol blend ratio with a simple water test, low-tech but an easy-to-understand approach.
