OK did this STUPID "Government" make a "rule" about Car Gas? At Sams Club(Council Bluffs, IA) I can ONLY find that Ethanol BS. My Subaru needs REAL Gas and I don't think that It can run on this Ethanol BS.
Modern cars are designed to run just fine on gasoline containing 10% ethanol. With Iowa being in the heart of corn country, and containing a LOT of ethanol plants, is it really surprising that all regular gas in Iowa contains ethanol?
By the way, I have to laugh at the Republicans who were so enamored with Minnesota’s Tim Pawlenty for President. When he was governor of Minnesota, he tried to push through a resolution mandating 15% ethanol in the gas in Minnesota, totally ignoring the voiding of car warranties using that blend.
We’ve used regular gas with ethanol in our vehicles and lawn equipment for many years with absolutely no issues.
My Subaru Sti doesn’t like winter blends but I suffer thru it.
Maybe I will get a meth injection system.

Sam’s club is 10c/gallon cheaper
In 2004-2005 I worked in Cedar Rapids, IA. Had a 5th wheel RV towed by a 2003 Toyota Tundra. That was when ethanol was being pushed into almost all gas in IA. I experienced a mileage decrease of about 3-4 miles per gallon. Shell at that time had non-ethanol. That was the only fuel I would use, even though the cost per gallon was higher. As time went on, often could not find non-ethanol at Shell even across TX, LA, MS, AL and FL. Retired, 5th wheel RV has been sold, still difficult to find gas that provides initial miles per gallon without paying significant increases.
Cheaper because it carries only ethanol. Go to a real gas station and pay more for the real deal if that is what you want. Life is like that.
Ethanol laced fuel will destroy your fuel pump in 6 months or less if the pump was manufactured more than 5 years ago.
It will destroy every 2 stroke engine you own.
Adding 10% alcohol cuts gas mileage as much as 20% on closed loop feedback fuel injection systems (all now days).
Who would be against adding alcohol to gasoline?
Can you even find leaded gas anymore?
I’ve got a 2003 Trailbrazer with the 4.2l engine (Purchased new). Have used nothing but 87 octane with ethanol for 289,000 miles. Still got the original fuel pump and still get 22 mpg on the highway.
Look at Texas compared to CA. stations, all of CA. has 5, Texas has an
abundance of places VERY TELLING!!!
Actually don’t sweat it. All gas in Ca has been ethanol for years and cali is 25% of the car market. I gas up my Z06 on pump gas all the time.
“Most premium gas 93 octane, will be free of ethanol.”
I didn’t know that. Will they say that on the pump do you know?
Live by a track and 100 octane is available in the south. Hope that helps.
I have an ANSWER

I don't know.
Yes they did, and as soon as we started to put corn in our gas tanks, Mexicans started complaining about the price of tortillas.
It is easy to figure out the EPA hates yard motors.
And your definition of a "real" gas station is one with higher prices? I suppose you buy from the contractor with the highest bid, too, since he obviously must be better since he charges so much more.
Lots of info on their site, with links to independent analyses.
Use it in my truck, all 2-cycle yard gear (mostly Stihl), and Deere 318.
