A couple months ago, after a friend noticed that the sign: "..we no longer use
MTBE..." by Union Oil at Union stations was accompanied by a tiny, tiny sign on
the pumps that "...we might be using alky..", I wrote to Union asking if they
were using alky and how much if so.

I was shocked to get back the message that said this: "we no longer make
gasoline because we sold all our refineries years ago, so we buy fuel from
other makers, and we have no idea what is in the fuel".

Doesn't that give you a warm feeling? Union used to be the best in calif, now
they are just another greedy reseller with no responsibility for their
"product".

In tests we have made using the water shake, we have found that the gases
tested all have about 5 percent alky.

Good luck on finding out anything different. And let us know if you do find
someone but time is running out.
