There are a lot of toxic additives in automotive fuel that you do not want to inhale their products of combustion. Using car fuel should be avoided unless you have no other options.

I prefer liquid fuel stoves to butane/propane/isobutane, they work better in cold weather. The butane mixture stoves, I always seem to run out of fuel and have to change canisters half way thru a meal.

Where are you at this time? In USA or elsewhere?
