It's in all octane ratings from what I can tell. To get ethanol-free gasoline, you need to seek a gas station that deliberately offers it. Most gas you see in the US, regardless of octane rating, has an ethanol blend of about 10%.BxKizashiS wrote:Oh, i always get regular, so i should stay away from that and go 1 step up

Yup. Ethanol in fuel is all for the farmers so they can make more money from their rather worthless crop. I love corn and think it's tasty and all, but I don't like the idea of farmers getting lobbyists to pass laws and force ethanol on the populace just so they make more money. Both these farmers and oil companies have their profit-minded agendas and spew a lot of propaganda claiming their product is better than the other.bootymac wrote:Plus the main detriment to ethanol blends is reduced fuel efficiency. The higher cost of ethanol free gasoline might offset any savings from increased mileage

I used Shell V-power for about 4 months, the cost of V-power and the regular (octane 87) was about 11% more, but the mileage was only 6-7% increase. So, I remain using the regular now.bootymac wrote:Plus the main detriment to ethanol blends is reduced fuel efficiency.

Big business means a lot of power and profits. And guess what happens when the profits are threatened? Power play.KuroNekko wrote:Both these farmers and oil companies have their profit-minded agendas and spew a lot of propaganda claiming their product is better than the other.
I almost thing that the term lobbyist is such a sugar coat on what is essentially a paid ass-kisser and smoozer con-man. Seems like they're even below the used-car salesman since they just follow the money.
