It's E10 everywhere here now instead of MTBE for Winter (mandated). But change stations [gasp] never! My QuikTrip station around the corner and Pump 13 have been there for me since I started hypermiling (and is one of the cheapest places in the Metro)
Mostly for consistency in filling, but it's also a Tier-1 fuel.
I'll be headed to a work visit in town, then to the airport for a trip to DC, so we'll see what the
SGII comes up with tomorrow evening.
Odd though, Ethanol has a higher octane rating, so it shouldn't ping -- in theory...
