Fastrac gas stations in central ny to start selling non ethanol gas
I am being told that the Fastrac had stations at least in the central ny area
Will be selling non ethanol blended gas in 30-60 days. Super unleaded only. This is great news for us. Has anyone else started seeing or heard any rumors of the ethanol gas blend going away. I am assuming it is just a matter of time before the ethanol blend goes away Since our government is no longer giving billions as I understand it to the oil companies to blend it in |
I don't think Algore nor the midwest corn farmers would want non ethanol gas to go away. I have tried several thousand miles running no ethanol gas in my 2.4 auto and the only thing I saw was a lighter wallet as it was 93 octane and $0.60 more per gallon and no mpg improvement.

It's my understanding that while the ethanol subsidies have been eliminated, the federal mandate that 37% of the 2011-2012 corn crop be converted to ethanol and blended with gasoline. (as per http://www.thenewamerican.com/econom...andates-remain )
This is only one source, so I'm unable to verify it's accuracy. I admit to not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, but from this, I might conclude that non-ethanol blend gasoline will go up some (10-15%?) while ethanol blend should rise significantly more. |
Not only is ethanol not going away, but plans are in place to increase the ethanol content of motor fuel gasoline to 15%.

I believe, at this point, ethanol is the only replacement for the banned MTBE. So for the areas that have an emission requirement....cleaner air kind of thing...., it will not go away.
