Well, I don't know yet. I moved to North Carolina last fall, and I've been
trying to find information about alcohol contents. I'd love to get the
auto fuel STC for my Skylane, but I've not been able to find a website,
either by the NC DOT or whomever, indicating whether or not mogas has
alcohol in NC. So far, the pumps I've been at don't indicate alcohol
contents, but I don't know if it's required or not.

Mogas pumps that contain alcohol are required to be labeled as such. I
don't remember how I know that, but I am sure that is the case.

Not in Michigan they aren't. The pumps only have a sticker that says
the gas meets some specific standard number for gas. Here there is no
lable that tells you what is in the gas.


So it depends on the state regulations. You'd have to research the
regs in NC to be sure one way or the other.

As far as other oxygen additives go, if you live in a county that has
required auto emissions testing, they will add them in the summer months.
Other counties near them may have them added, if their suppliers are in one
of those counties.

I guess I did not make it clear, that I was talking about NC. The OP was
asking about NC, and my sig line... Well, you know what I did! g
