If set up properly, allowed to warm up and not cooled too quickly, it's not as bad, but it's still there....basically, if you want an engine that will run for several seasons without any major issues, run gas. If you want that extra tenth or two, the superior cooling and consistency, and don't mind completely freshing up your engine every year, run alky.
X2 Leave it on Gasoline,fall is comming and your going to need all the heat you can get
