Default The ethanol nightmare has arrived!


I'm trying to locate a new source, but may not be successful. The
ethanol is added at the distribution rack. Chevron and a couple others
are requiring their retailers to go to E-10.



Have you actually tried to go to a Chevron station, get some of the
Premium gas, and actually test it for ethanol? E10 should be very
obvious with the test tube method.

Because Washington state has a relatively sensible ethanol law, and
the fact that wholesale ethanol price is very high right now, there's
a chance that you might get ethanol free gas by buying the Premium
fuel.

Remember, ethanol is not mixed into the fuel until the local
distribution terminal, because it can't be transported in pipelines.
