That very much could be the case? It would be nice to find out who the distributor that gas stations buy from? I'm sure there are different % of ethanol from distributors. I know the gas station I use gets their gas from a reseller, Myers Oil, State College, PA who in return gets it from a distributor via the Altoona, PA pipeline. I asked and they don't know what the percentage of ethanol is contained in the mixture. Really how could you determine? I think you can't...

Any rate, the local mom and pop station still has some non-ethanol only 93 octane gas left. It will be gone by the end of the month...

Winter sucks and the gas too! At least, there will be the enjoyment of the upcoming Ski season...

Cheers!
