4 The Tar Heel Thursday, May 22. 1980 news Gasohol available ai local stations SB" J"-" FSi5k 1 1 1 I iTfj ' ' mtimw iiwcpcgifBjUW wuHPPjifr aim 'x '':':'':: " ' : - : iiiA ;:- Staff photo by Sharon Clarke Gsschol avzthble in area . . .fuel is a corn product By Anne Prosser Two Carrboro gas stations The Short-Stop Food Mart and Lloyd's Self-Service are selling gasohol in place of premium gasoline. A third Orange County business. Wood's Community Grocery, on N.C. 86 between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough, also sells gasohol. ' Gasohol consists of nine parts unleaded gasoline and one part alcohol. U-Filler-Up Gasoline Company of North Carolina supplies local stations with gasohol. The company buys alcohol from a company in Illinois for $1.93 a gallon. U-Filler-Up buys unleaded gasoline for approximately $1.10 a gallon and mixes the two components. - The 5 percent federal excise tax that applies to gasoline applies to gasohol as well. Gasohol is selling at the Short-Stop Food Mart for 122 cents a gallon, and Lloyd's Self-Service for 123.9 cents a gallon. 1 here is not really much demand for gasohol now, but we see a great increase in popularity in the near future as it becomes more well-known," said Linda Lofton, representative of U-Filler-Up in Greensboro. "Everyday sales of gasohol pick up a little," said one employee of the Short-Stop Food Mart, which started selling gasohol in early March. "We are selling as much gasohol as either regular or unleaded," Jesse Suitt, an employee of Lloyd's Self-Service said. "And sales seem to be picking up." U-Filler-Up began distributing gasohol in December and sells its product to 30 service stations in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and West Virginia. "Gasohol can be used in any car," Lofton said. "It is taking the place of premium and is outselling it." Gasohol has a higher octane rating than regular gasoline. Gasohol burns more cleanly, Lofton said. Test have been conducted showing that gasohol increases gas mileage by 5 percent, she said. There also is reduced engine deposit in cars that use gasohol. she said. Thirty percent less carbon monoxide is contained in the exhaust of cars using gasohol rather than gasoline, she said. "One lady told me she thought it would be better for her car," said one Lloyd's employee. "A lot of people who use high-test are trying gasohol for the better gas mileage," said Suitt of Lloyd's Self-Service. "Those who try gasohol always come back for more." IMteam sports registration now There will be pickup sof tball games at 10 a.m. every Saturday at Ehringhaus Field in conjunction with the summer intramural sports program, coordinator Marty Pomerantz said this week. The summer program consists of softball, basketball, racquetball, badminton, tennis and golf teams. Deadline for entry is today at 5 p.m. at Woollen Gym for all sports except golf which has a May 28 deadline. "The only difference in summer league and regular intramurals is that all teams go into a playott at the end ot the season regardless of record," Pomerantz said. He said he expects 30-35 teams each in softball and basketball. Ehringhaus Field will be the site of softball games this summer because grounds crews are working at Carmichael Field and ask that students not play there. Officials are needed for softball and basketball, Pomerantz said. Anyone interested' in officiating is asked to be at a clinic at 7 p.m. today for basketball and 8 p.m. for softball in 304 Woollen Gym.
