Otis,

I don't think a couple bottles will make much difference. I've used alcohol and gas 50/50 (starting with an empty tank) with good results on emissions tests (I needed and got more than 70% emissions reductions). You can buy gallons of denatured alcohol at hardware stores for about $8 each. Dilute it with a full tank of gas as soon as you're done, as high alcohol concentrations are bad for some hoses.

    to let it mix and get all the way through the fuel system. It's a quick fix for most smog checks.
