I guess I should have clarified.

Phillips 66 stations in non-attainment areas don't have oxygenated/alcohol blend fuels. It is not federally mandated that all stations in the US use oxygenated/alcohol blend fuels - only in certain areas. I live in a mostly non-attainment area - I was not thinking about the city folks. I feel so stupid for not mentioning that.

Areas Participating in the Oxygenated Gasoline Program

I always thought that the more horsepower you use to accelerate or maintain speed, the more fuel you use. I thought wrong. I stand corrected. I try not to make my hobby complicated.
