Gas companies that have E10 ethanol in their gas

27IVTEC · 01-15-2008, 09:59 PM

I have searched all over the internet, and cant find any info. Does anyone know a list of gas companies that do use E10 as an additive, and/or companies that dont?

effNsi · 01-15-2008, 10:08 PM

i've seen some 76's out here that have a sticker @ the pump that says may contain 10% ethanol or something like that but i dont pay too much attention to it

Y do U wanna know?

nolimit179 · 01-15-2008, 10:20 PM

it all depends on where you live. I'm in NY and all gas stations from all companies use 10% ethanol all year round.

I thought that was a winter mix.

Almost all gas has 10% Ethanol now, just pull up to the pump and look for the sticker

Because it is killing the shit out of my MPG. I know Chevron does not contain ethanol, I usually fill up with Citgo, this last tank I put Chevron, and Im getting 3-4 MPG better.

Ethanol does not release as much energy as regular gas when burned. Thus, the crappier output.

I live in MA and all the gas has 10% etahol also. It does suck.

***portabuddy*** · 01-16-2008, 04:54 AM

you can add a bit of diesle(like 1L), i here thats a neat little trick but i dont know if it will work??? kinda makes sense but who knows?? i only herd that from like 2 guys and i think they are full of it.

like truckers adding a few L of ATF to there tanks. helps MPG ALOT!!! most guys get 6-7mpg with the ATF they get 7-8mpg. vut this is diesle, it would run on straight oil...

Most gas stations have 10% ethanol or it should at least have a sticker notifying buyers. I noticed this for about 6 months now. They should at least know the consumers publicly that they are adding ethanol. I wonder why gas is still so high. Costs me couple bills to fill up every months!!

p.s. I've seen couple of shell stations that do not contain ethanol.

thanks

It is based on location and not fuel brand. I think the EPA website might have a map of locations that require it.

Not all fuel pumps are correctly labeled with the e10 sticker.

si_dick · 01-16-2008, 01:23 PM

Sunoco also contains ethanol

***cderalow*** · 01-16-2008, 01:38 PM

pretty sure anywhere in New Jersey will not have ethanol, and pretty much everyone in New England will...

Look for the sticker...

ryker · 01-16-2008, 02:50 PM

"As of mid-April of last year, E10 was sold at around 40% of all gas stations in the U.S."

GasNgo stations in TN and Ky area are mostly e10.

Ditto that. Here in Montgomery, AL there are several Chevron's - I mistakenly filled up once at one with 10% ethanol sticker - went from 30 mpg to 26 mpg - same daily route similar driving style. I now avoid the ethanol - if see it I keep moving on as it costs the same as the 'good' non-ethanol gas (at least here anyway).

Here is a thought? Should 10% become the standard here, should I move to 89 octane? wonder if that would help hurt or be indifferent? Plan on my next tank to try that out anyway just to know the differences. . .

Is ethanol in all grades of fuel or just the low grade 87 octane?
