California does not require labeling, and stations are motivated to use ethanol all year regardless of season. I've not been able to locate any stations that have non ethanol gas. Even worse, the percent of ethanol is commonly increased over legal amounts by distributors, and gas stations continue to illegally over blend and double blend ethanol to increase their own profits.

This is disappointing to me, as I'd much prefer to use gasoline without ethanol. I used to think it was good due to false advertising, but no more. Besides not having the choice to use non ethanol gas, and no disclosure about the amount that is added, the ethanol blends result in significantly less miles per gallon, greater cost for the miles that are traveled, and more expense for wear and tear on the car.

It is difficult to keep aiming for greater efficiency, while being sabotaged by terrible industry regulations that take money from us to line their own pockets.
