So I was at BP Gas station the other day & there was a sign: “May Contain Up To 10% Ethanol”. Read that Ethanol is not good for the Engine. Thoughts?

In town I buy all my gas from Exxon Mobil.

[image] PatSmith: So I was at BP Gas station the other day & there was a sign: “May Contain Up To 10% Ethanol” Hi Pat: Could you list the gas station brands you use that do not use “up to 10% Ethanol”? I ask that due to how common it is to see 10% in use. According to one of the US governm…

I’d bet that around 95% of road taxed gasoline sold is 10% ethanol, it’s been that way for a decade or two. Chances are you’ve been filling up with E10 without being aware of it for sometime now.

I believe New Jersey switched from MTBE (bad for the environment) to 10% ethanol in the mid-2000s. My 2000 Blazer’s mpg took a hit at the time. Never had any issues with my cars, including a 1993 Caprice. Ed B.

Called the Renewable Fuels Standard, this mandate begins with a 4-billion-gallon (15.14-billion liter) requirement in 2006 and doubles by 2012.Nov 12, 2013 States have the option …

[image] Tester: States have the option of providing non-oxy fuel for older vehicles/equipment. But the regular motor fuel in all states must contain at least 10% ethanol. I have never been asked what vehicles I’m using non-ethanol in. I can buy as much of it as I want. Now, the one control I…

[image] glasspilot: I can buy as much of it as I want. Yeah. Like non-oxy gas is cheap. I just filled my 5 gallon gas can with non-oxy gas. Just under $27.00. Almost twice as much as regular E10 gas. Now go fill a Silverado with non-oxy gas. Tester
