Well here in IL. Their so proud of ethanol, I've seen pumps showing E25 or E85. Without much of a mark-down in price. Go figure?

I quit running Shell and went to BP too. Bike runs much better.

In Saskatchewan we have ethanol polluted fuel in regular only. Premium is pure gas. Mid-grade is mixed at the pump and only 5% ethanol. Any top tier gas station will have quality premium such as shell,chevron,petro-Canada,esso. Of all the fuel choices I found shell to be the best. My mustang is very picky and runs best off shell. Chevron is also great but hard to find here. Ethanol is the biggest scam out there. Government subsidized waste at it's finest

Agreed, the only label I look for is the non oxygenated one at the few stations that sell the 91 octane without ethanol.

Driving through Oklahoma a year or so ago (running the state highways, not interstate) I noticed a lot of stations had pumps with six different grades - ethanol free reg-premium and e10- reg-premium. Thought that was pretty cool.

Yep that's right.

NC doesn't require it anymore.

I am under the impression that no stations in MN can sell gas without ethanol, even 91 octane. But if you know of confirmed stations that do, I'd be very interested to know where they are!
