I was just thinking of that. I'm actually surprised you can find
it there in Iowa, Jay. I know of two places (coincidentally where my family is and I tend to fly to) where ethanol is mandated. Milwaukee, WI requires not only oxygenate, but with a weird mix that only they use (read: expensive). Actually, it's in a four or five county area surrounding Milwaukee. I know, because my hometown, Racine, WI, is just south of Milwaukee -- and we were all really, REALLY ****ed when the EPA mandated that we all use only "specially formulated" gasoline. We were especially ****ed because our air quality issues were directly related to the pollution coming from Chicago, just south of us -- and THEY simply refused to follow the EPA mandate! (I was a renter when I lived there, so the-car-gas-in-your-plane issue wasn't on my radar screen yet) I'd better fly some more to pay back the $1500 STC for my Cherokee before pure gasoline goes away... ![]() I'm well over 2,000 gallons of gas pumped through the Mighty Grape now. At our current price differential (AvGas $2.90; Car Gas $1.43) I've saved myself $2940.00 in just eleven months.
