Gasohol

Is it true that there is no longer any requirement to label gasoline contaminated with alcohol?

Good article he http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Gasoline.html

I just did the add water to gas test on a couple of local gas sources and all contain alcohol, and none of the pumps
said anything about it. The feds just dropped the requirement to label the pumps and we all missed it?

Jay, where do you fill the grape from and how do you know there is no evil alcohol in it?

In the Twin Cities (St Paul / Mpls) the pumps with NO ethanol are marked
special. About 1 in 50 stations has such a pump - and it's usually 93
Premium ...Non-Oxy.

Minnesota gas stations with Non-Oxy gas. That's the whole state!

Can I have some shipped out to California? I'm tired of having to
drain my lawn mower and edger after every mowing and having to throw
out the gas in my cans every 30 days. The mower shops are booked up 3
months out cleaning the gook out of carbs.

Must be why mine was running rough last weekend, it operates maybe twice a
month for about 15 minutes or less and it has not been serviced in 10 years.

contaminated with alcohol?

Worse.
I read that, starting in 2007, in some places, California and some
Canadian Provinces included, it is regulated that all gasoline sold must
contain at least 5% alcohol/ethanol.

I'm pretty sure Mass. is already there. I don't know if there's a minimum,
but we've got 10% ethanol everywhere now.

Same in CT.

I think most, if not all, of the Northeastern states sell the same
blend, no longer labeling the pumps for the 10% alchohol content.

And that means that all of us using gasohol are getting worse gas mileage than we would get with straight gasoline. If
the fuel is 10% ethanol that is 10% less gasoline being pumped while the price has gone up double in the last two years.
Energy bill of 2005, eh?????

The oil companies recently blamed the Bush Administration's emphasis on
converting to bio fuels as the cause for the price increase in gasoline.
Their statement: If they (bush) would support gasoline, then the oil
companies would spend money on additional refineries to meet the demand and
price could stay low. But with the emphasis on conversion to bio fuels and
alternative energy, the oil companies have no incentives to
rebuild/repair/build new refineries to meet the increasing consumption
demand.

So they say as they pocket record profits.
