<DIV><FONT face=Arial>On the way to the Glen bought gas in Indiana, Ohio and New
York and never saw an ethanol sticker on a single pump. Here in Wisconsin
they are on all the pumps, on all 3 grades. I also saw someplace (can't
remember where, CRS disease) that some supplieres are adding more than the
required 10%. An economic move I believe the article said.</FONT></DIV>

gasoline.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I spent Tuesday afternnon hanging about in my old friend's
hangar. He was finishing an annual on a Piper Colt that has the Autogas STC.
He needed gasoline to test the engine so he went to the nearby Sheetz and
bought a can of 87 octane rating and a can of 91.<BR> <BR>Neither pump
was labeled as containing ethanol.<BR> <BR>The STC allows the use of
autogas only if it contains NO alcohol, so he tested the gas for alcohol
content using a test kit. The kit came from Sporty's or Aircraft Spruce or
equivalent. <BR> <BR>The 87 contained 8% and the 91 contained 5%
alcohol.<BR> <BR>So I think this means that one can't always go by the
labeling on the pump.<BR> <BR>John H.<BR><BR>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">In Texas, soon as one get out of the
metropolitan areas of Ft. Worth and Dallas, say 15 miles south of Fort Worth
to Motor Sports Ranch, there is NO Ethanol in any of the pump gas. I
know this because while doing HPDE's in my M3 I looked for Shell 93 Oct. I
noticed that the required "May contain up to 10% Ethanol"
sticker required by law to be on every pump containing Ethanol was absent
along with any vapor recovery technology. The station owner confirmed...
No Ethanol</FONT></DIV>
