In the "city" you have to buy the smog gas. Out in the country where I live, it's all "real gas". This doesn't have the winter/summer blends to it. I have noticed a big difference in FE by buying "real gas" compared to "city" gas. Thus my change in fueling stations.
I just spoke with a customer service rep for Hess who said that, in my area (Rochester, NY), the only thing they change in the winter is the "Reid Vapor Pressure". She claims that ethanol (0%) and detergent levels remain the same throughout the year. So, am I good? Or, is there something else I should be looking for.

Thanks!
