Location: Lebanon,Mo | It shouldnt have anything to do with oil companies,its a federal and state regulation on ethanol blends.Some states require up to 10% blend and some dont require any.And since the new law last year,they dont have to display if it contains ethanol or not on pumps.You could get straight 87 octane one week or a e-blend the next week depending on market.Sometimes straight 87 is cheaper than blended,and is allowed to be sold in c-stores.It's a screwed up mess and I deal with this weekly.I run the marine sta-bil in my boat just to be safe,and have yet to have a problem in the boat,chainsaw,weed wacker or whatever. |
