E10 fuel at QuikTrip

[inteller]

which station?  my part of the world is taken over by QT so I have to go a long ways to get real gas.

There is a sinclair at 81st and 169, that isn't that far.

While your out getting "real gas" you're also supporting foreign oil you dumb$#@!  Stop whining about 10% Ethanol and support your local farmers.  I bet you drive an Expedition with a "Support Our Troops" yellow ribbon sticker too.

Yeah that corn stuff added to our fuel is the worst of the worst. Not only does gas milage drop, and the engine has less power since ethanol has less power it's bad for the fuel injectors and fuel pumps too, plus it drives up the cost of food and corn. We are using food for fuel Very bad idea.[xx(]

I want the price of corn to go up. Corn has been too overly subsidized and is a big contributor to US obesity. Cheap corn is the reason pop has corn syrup instead of sugar in it. Sugar is more easily digested and less likely to turn to fat. I've heard before that only 1 item at mcdonalds doesn't include corn in it.
Egg McMuffin? Corn
McFlurry? Corn
Big Mac? Corn
Fries? Corn

Corn Syrup, Corn Oil, and Corn Meal are in almost everything we eat and it's all bad for us.

they have not been vouched as using real gas.  until they advertise it like some other stations in BA do, it cannot be confirmed they don't slip in E10.

and for those on the foreign oil high horse, get over yourselves.  getting real gas does not mean more oil goes into it, it just means the ethanol filler isn't being used as an oxygenate.

It's bad when you think of the price we are paying for fuel and with ethanol we get less fuel milage and poor engine power for the same price. Ethanol cannot make it in the free market place- so it requires gov't subsidys to survive. No use looking for stations that sell pure gasoline sooner or latter all stations will have ethanol blends. It makes no sense when fuel mileage drops. Gas stations here in Ohio that at one time sold pure gasoline now have pump stickes that say it's blended with ethanol. Many store clerks have no idea what is in their gasoline I have asked that already.

Can we make a running list of real gas locations?

Supporting farmers? Perhaps, but it feels like we're supporting pork barrel initiatives for midwestern congressmen.  More energy is used to produce ethanol than is derived from its use.  Hybrid cars are a better option- better fuel efficiency reduces the quantity of oil we demand from the Middle East.  Furthermore, oil reserves in Alaska and Siberia have the potential to outpace Middle East production.

I need the answer. I can't sleep until I know.

Is it the Cherry Pie? The Salad? The Happy Meal Toy?

don't question it, just keep eating it and maintain your figure.

I never said more oil goes into "real gas" vs. the blend.  However, if you are substituting 10% of your final product with ethanol you are obviously reducing your consumption of oil...big difference.

When your milage drops, your consumption increases.  How does this reduce consumption of oil?

Some real garbage is that E-85 fuel that some new vehicles can use. It's not much cheaper than gasoline and your fuel mileage is in the dumper. I guess it's 85% ethonal and 10% gasoline. That stuff also stinks if you get it on your hands.

Your measly 2% loss in efficiency (if that is even true) is small compared to the lowered consumption of oil made by refineries which is what I was referring to in the first place.  You don't consume oil you consume gasoline. Oil is used in the process by the refineries to make gasoline.  If the final product is 10% ethanol then less oil is consumed during the refining process to give consumers 1 gallon of fuel.
