It may be needed of it's really cold. I just trying to figure out why you'd want that, but the Canada thing makes sense. Even if you can start it on cold days, you're better off starting it on gas when it's cold.
This is all part of the problem I am having deciding what fuel to use.
The other option is E85. That 15% gasoline in there eases the cool weather problem and I am told is much less corrosive than alcohol,
But has many of the benefits of an alcohol fuel with some of the benefits of gasoline. Eventually I will make an educated decision, but as Pittsburgh racer has pointed out, alcohol fuel is relatively cheap, even in Canadian funds lol.
