since chevron has started putting 10% ethanol in their gas my milage has went down 20-30 miles less per tank... eek . i have switched to shell and i plan on staying with it.
note. i find the newest shell station because the fuel tanks are new and the equipment is new.
you will know if they put ethanol in thier gas it will have a sticker on the pump somewhere tellin you that you are running corn

Glad you still have a choice. Here in Oregon 10% ethanol was mandated by the legislature a couple years ago to please the Eco-Hippies who dominate this state.
After a couple of years they are realizing that this was a horrible idea that actually increases pollution, decreases gas mileage, and benefits only the government subsidised ethanol producers. And creates more CO2 to make than it saves. ******* Hippies! But they run this place now.
We may finally get the choice to buy real premium gas again without ethanol, but no final word yet.

Here in NE Pa I only run Sunoco 93 octane in all my vehicles. Yes even that has 10% ethanol. I believe finding gas without ethanol is pretty hard to do. At least we can still get 93 octane in our part of the country. I believe that the highest octane in California is only 91. That sucks.
My wife just reminded me that when I PASS gas there isn't any ethanol in it either. Unless I eat some corn.

Is there a general consensus on the best brand of 93? I just got my 99 T/A last summer and I only run it on BP Premium (93, no ethanol I believe), but that's mostly because I own stock in BP. Does anyone have a recommendation based on composition/additives/overall quality?

I found a Chevron right outside of my neighborhood, that gets used a lot, and has stickers on every pump that says "Contains 100% gasoline" I get gas there, or Shell. I had stopped going to Shell, because their sticker says "Contains up to 10% ethanol", thought it may have changed with the nitrogen enriched. How is that nitrogen enriched, anyway?
Isn't it funny how people have laws made, then when they turn out to be a flop, leave them be?

In florida it can contain up to 10 or 15 percent cant remember and they dont have to tell you. I dont notice too much a diff between ethanol and pure sunoco 93 here except in my 66 mustang. It drives abt the same except when you sit in traffic for a long time the fuel in the carb bowl starts to evaporate because of the ethanol and it runs like **** until you get moving again and fuel fills the bowl back up. Oh yeah it does wonders for the small seals in the carb.![MAD](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_mad.gif)
