Gas pump labeling for ethanol content.
On my recent trip to Everett I noticed a difference in labeling on the gas pump as pertaining to ethanol content.
At home the pumps are labeled "Contains up to 10% Ethanol" and at the pump I refueled at in Everett it said "Contains 10% Ethanol".
This has gotten me to wonder if there is a difference. I do know that it gets way hotter at home than it does in Everett and they may not use full ethanol content because it can cause vapor lock in the summer. On the other hand Everett is in the land of the often misguided eco nazis and might actually mandate the maximum ethanol fuel blend.
Seeing that my trip back got me a lower mpg I think that there is a difference.
Any thoughts?
