Find out if your local gas company uses splash blending of ethanol.

Turns out Feds passed a law that local gas suppliers can use a different vendor for methanol.

Instead of getting a nice mixture 90 gas and 10% ethanol, you have no idea how much gas or ethanol you are getting with splash blending.

The distance from the ethanol load to the gas station matters. If is short, the mixture will suck. Tests have shown up to 50% ethanol per tankful.
