    Every pump here has the stickers. Note that they say "MAY" contain up to 10%......

    I'll have to pay attention when I fill up, but I think ours say that they "contain at least 10% ethanol". Maybe I'm wrong though. I dunno.

    "contains up to 10%"

    Unfortunately Tom, last year starting in the spring, all the fuel coming thru FL east coast terminals was ethanol... Now have some non-ethanol for boats, but don't know of any stations with non-ethanol fuel. Been a real boon to boating repair industry!!! Expect some plugged fuel filters when you start driving your Camaro!

    Like 4GASEM, us Iowans are used to the "Crapohol - Gasohol"! I have always been convinced it cuts mileage around 10%, at least the way I drive. Octane is as marked, so that isn't an issue, even in our high performance boat.

    The pump at the station in Ennis said "May contain 10% ethanol". The one in austin said "contains 10% ethanol". It did look like my milage dropped alittle. From the high 19's to the mid 18's. I will have to watch a couple of tanks to be sure. I haven't noticed the car running any different. I used to make 3 or 4 trips a year to kansas city and always had to run 10% while I was there. I never could tell the difference. Hopefully the same holds true for a car that has been performance tuned.
