I read this in the Caller Times today.

Ethanol blues

I have been purchasing gasoline at one of the last stores in Corpus Christi to sell ethanol-free gasoline.

Real gasoline gives me 20 percent better gas mileage than the ethanol stuff.

This week I stopped to fill up and learned that the government made the little store stop selling gasoline without ethanol.

We should all throw a tantrum, hold our breath till we turn blue, start a riot, or at least write our congressman.

And the price of deer corn has gone up from about $4 a bag to over $8. One place in Calallen had it "on sale" for $7 and change. Only problem was that it was packaged in 30# bags.

Yep, I stopped in yesterday to top the boat off and the little Chevron in the Bluff now has 10% Ethanol gas. It was a PITA to get in and out of with the boat but a great place to fuel up after fishing. Rudy's is now the only place I know of.

Bummer, I had started buying gas at Bangs Chevron in the Bluff. Sorry to hear that they went to the dark side.

Good link for ethanol free gas stations around the state.

noskunks,
did you ask Bang why?

Sadly, I understand that ALL gas in Texas now includes the terrible additive called Ethanol. That's right, we all get E90. The links on pure-gas.com are several years outdated, at least here in D/FW, none of those stations still sell gas w/o E additive. I'm pretty sure Pretty Ricky Perry had a hand in flipping the switch on this. Good job, tricky Ricky !

I filled up yesterday at Rudy's 9/11 in Corpus Christi

At a minimum I can't understand why the state doesn't sell pure gas in an off road dyed format for boating. Make it illegal for use in a truck or car, but at least sell it for use in Outboards and small engines. Dye it whatever color they want. Of course something like that would seem to be logical.
