The US Secret Service said on Sunday it was investigating reports of overnight gunfire near Lafayette Park, which is across the street from the White House.

No injuries were reported and no suspect was found after a search of the park and the surrounding area after midnight, the agency said in an online post.

Donald Trump was spending the weekend at the White House, which had no immediate comment on the incident. White House operations remained as normal but security in the area was increased, according to the Secret Service.

The park has been fenced off for weeks of renovations.

The Secret Service said it was working with District of Columbia police and US Park Police.

          They have it in Australia as well.

          It’s used for race fuel as it has very low pre detonation properties.

          It’s less energy dense though, so you need bigger injectors fuels pumps and lines to use it with big turbo engines.

          And Brazil has E100

            Finally someone in this comment thread that actually understands ethanol.

            No it doesn’t cause more wear (directly) Or cause backfiring (unless the engine doesn’t have active lambda control and enough fueling capacity)

            And yes, it’s great for making more power.

              It does fuck with rubber everything though, unless your car has all PTFE and metal fuel lines (I mostly work with classic cars and small engines that have their fuel lines trashed by the ethanol though)
