2khawk Champion Author Iowa Posts:5,271 Points:929,975 Joined:Oct 2010	Message Posted: Jan 27, 2011 9:22:13 PM Ignore 2khawk Report Abuse Iowa's law states that if any fuel contains more than 1% ethanol it must be posted at the pump. There is one station here (Pilot) that I noticed has started using ethanol in all their grades.

The idea that the site would start a blog but then make it a separate domain that isn't even linked here, is just bizarre (you'll notice that this thread is more active than the secret blog it links to)... I don't believe it's a "mandate" though because I've still got three out of my seven closest stations selling E-free. Up to a couple of weeks ago it was four out of seven but one caved. I believe it's more a question of supply and demand. The less demand there is for E-free (that is, the less individual stations are ordering it specifically), the less reason the distributors have to send it out. I'm stumped as to what Al Gore has to do with any of this though... I believe all this ethanol-pushing crap comes from the Bush years. [Edited by: sluggopyle at 10/26/2010 6:26:36 PM EST]

Alpha_Pup Champion Author Twin Cities Posts:4,440 Points:1,596,740 Joined:Jan 2002	Message Posted: Sep 9, 2010 12:33:17 PM Ignore Alpha_Pup Report Abuse MN doesn't require labeling Ethanol content unless there's NO Ethanol in the gas. Only the Non-Oxygenated Premium needs to be labeled as such. It's been that way since 97/98 when the legislature mandated 10% Ethanol in all Gas sold except for the Non-Oxy Premium for use in Classic Cars, Boats, Motorcycles, and small engines only.
