I should say that I am not talking about use of a 50/50 mix all of the 
time.  I understand that if one used it all the time, then you would 
likely get water in the gas and get corrosion problems.  But say I 
wanted to take a trip, and wanted to use a 50/50 mix.  That means 3 or 4 
tanks of the 50/50, and then a week or so later, I am back to 100% gas. 
 What would the harm in that be?
