REAL GAS - NO QTrip E10

[Kashmir]

I saw that 71/Mingo carwashextravaganza advertises no ethanol.  Got some gas @ 21/Lewis, now up to 19mpg.

Haven't seen that since we were cruisin' on the highway to Destin, FLA in May, b/c it was cool enough for no a/c.

I'm convinced.

I see no performance or MPG difference either way. My mileage is not exactly a high number to start with. Of course that is because NO station in Tulsa is selling 100% gas and haven't for 10 years. The "pure" gast stations are using 10% of MTBE instead which is, ironically enough, also an alcohol product.

MTBE is also being phased out and is only currently in existence because Bush vetoed a bill eliminating it. Make sure and show your support of protecting "real gas."

So tell it like it is, are you running 10% ethanol or 10% mtbe, there is no 100% gas. Although I see no-one complaining about their being no "10% mtbe" signs.

Robinson, when you say the Texaxo at 21st and Harvard, do you mean Reeder's Phillips 66 at 21st and Lewis?  Harvard and 21st is QT, Arby's, Burger Street, and a parking lot.  

The station at 6th and Lewis has 100% gas, has anyone ever gotten a sandwich from there?  I keep thinking I should stop and check it out.

Well, I finally stopped at the phillip 66 at 126th and 31st and filled up.  I ran out all but what I needed to get to the station first.  Within a few miles of leaving, I could notice the differance in the fuel.  Can't give a MPG comparison because I did a full tune up the next day.

Yes, it is the Reeder's Phillips 66 -- Didn't that use to be a Texaco?

What about Sinclair stations? I thought I read in the other thread that they were still serving the good stuff.

Anyone know?

I think there was another thread about this already..but ALL Sinclair gas stations(Fiesta Marts) are 100% gas and also 100% terror free oil....which means they buy NO gas from states that are known to support terrorism..and they have a plant right here in Oklahoma as well...I have been slowly getting off my QT fix..and have not bought gas from them in about 1 month...

"Foreign States"...

Reeders Phillips 66 at Lewis and 21st has each pump handle labeled.  The 100% has a lower octane rating than the blend.  I bought gas there earlier today.

I asked once couple months ago at the Fiesta Mart at 91st/Delaware and they told me they did have ethanol.

edit: I asked again, same fiesta mart sat 5/24 and they said yes they have 10% ethanol.

Also someone mentioned Flying J. I went there 2 days ago and the lady at the counter said they are 10% ethanol as of 2 weeks ago.


I buy my gas at Phillips 66 Food Plaza (12500'ish e 31st) right by my house they have 87 pure gas for $.06 more than the E10 (they also have e10 at the same price as everyone else) as far as I can tell (and I drive 600 miles per week so I have a big sample size) it's worth it to pay 6 cents more. I get 20-22 mpg on e10 and 23-25 mpg on no ethanol gas.

14% increase in mileage on pure at less than a 2% increase in cost. ($3.659 vs. 3.599)

Good for you.  Now, can we stop with the stupid gas posts?  It won't be long before everyone is E10 anyway.  If you're less than E10 you can advertise 100% gas according to law so even most of those stations that say they are 100% most likely aren't anyway.

come July 1st there will be no more guessing if it is E10 or not.  A state law was just passed that REQUIRES anyone selling anything less than 99% gas to put a bright orange sticker on their pumps.

QT needs to get to work, they have a lot of stickers to apply[}:)]

Hopefully this will start a revolt and we can get most stations back to 100% gas.

i think 25-30% reduction sounds wrong but i really don't care.  It makes it cheaper and the oil companies can kiss my donkey.  I would buy and ethanol car if they sold it from pumps in town.
