| Ethanol free gas is no longer available at Rudy's according to new stickers on the pumps. |

Well, Tyler, now that you mention it, maybe they are selling it in the regular grade. Now, I remember seeing the "not ethanol free" stickers on the two upper grades, but not on regular. My bad, I guess! I just saw some stickers and assumed there was no ethanol free at all. I'll have to check again.
Thanks. Sorry for the error. |

| The regular is still ethanol free. I filled up there yesterday. Well, I tried to fill up and the pump cut my card off at $75. |

From what I understand not all or many Rudy's carry ethanol free. _________________ Like Corpusfishing.com on Facebook! |

Since the mid-grade is actually a blend of super and regular unleaded, the alcohol in mid-grade (plus) will be less than 10 percent at Rudy's. Usually the blend is 33% premium and 67% unleaded to achieve the 89 octane for unleaded plus. Therefore, the alcohol content on plus will be in the 3-4 percent range. _________________ E Pluribus Unum |
