Default autofuel and ethanol in cincinnati area


That honestly isn't very useful unless the law also prohibits those
"CYA" labels that say the gasoline "may" contain ethonal when there
isn't any.

In Seattle area I see a lot of labels saying that the gas *may* contain
up to 10% ethanol, where in fact that the Seattle metro area has been
exempt from using oxygenated gasoline by EPA since 1996! Blending
ethanol is a costly procedure for the oil companies and they have no
reason to do it unless it's mandated by law.

I just checked an Exxon station on the north side of town and there was
no ethanol in the gas and there was no label on the pump either.
YEA!!!
$3.00 a gallon looks a lot better than 4.00+ a gallon.
