Not true.
Oxygenated fuel is required only within metro areas with persistent air quality problems (which, in fact, amounts to just about every metro area in the country...according to the EPA).
However, rural areas beyond the bounds of the metro areas are not required to use oxygenated fuels. If those rural areas draw their gasoline from terminals located within the metro area, they may or may not receive ethanol in their gasoline -- depending upon the distributor's policy.
However, if they draw from terminals outside the metro area, there will be no ethanol added.
For example, whenever I drive from the small town in Texas where I live (in the DFW metro area), thru Western Oklahoma up to Western Kansas to visit family, the gasoline I buy in Clinton, OK (e.g.) and Hays, KS will not contain ethanol.
And I will get 15% better gas mileage from those tanks...
Try Pure-Gas.org by state and city, you might want to revise that statement.
No gasoline is sold without ethanol added to it.
That may be true in some areas but around here (OK)the number of stations carrying ethanol adulterated gas is dwindling.
No, you can get ethanol free gas in many states.
Very easy test. Put a quantity of gas in a clear container (jelly jar for example)and mark a line where the gas comes to. Add a quantity of water. Shake the container vigorously. This will cause the alcohol and water to mix. When it settles, see how much "less" gas you have.
Not true. A station very close to me has gasoline without added ethanol. Or at least they have signage saying so. This is in an area close to Puget Sound where many folk have boat engines that cannot tolerate ANY ethanol.
Other products rely on "blender" pumps; I'm pretty sure E85 stations have separate ethanol storage tanks. BTW, that's how most stations dispense mid-grade gasoline - blending regular and premium.
If it were all mixed as you suggest, the product would probably be more consistent. I've seen a number of articles about auto repair shops having fuel analyzed and discovering much higher ethanol content than 10%. Whether that is being done by design or by poorly calibrated blender pumps is the question.
Alas you’re wrong. I filled up this morning with the real stuff, 87 Octane, AND. . . .$3.25/gallon. . .
There are some exceptions to the ethanol mandate for small refiners.
One can still obtain unadulterated motor gasoline in some parts of the country.
But if one lives in a major metropolitan area, forget about it.
That is a pretty bold statement. Too bad it's wrong.
