    Default Bp Stations

    I've seen a post but can't remember, that BP gas stations don't have ethanol in there gas. Now let ask why they don't, do they make more money if there's no ethanol?
    Is not ethanol used as a ''filler'' to reduce the costly amount gasoline. I guess I need to buy boat motor gas at BP.

    BP's have ethanol here in the Hermatige area of Nashville

    I've heard the same thing and went to see.

    Also checked EXON and it was all gas

    Default Exxon

    Exxon is supposed to be ethanol free until the 1st of the year. Most of the Marathon stations are ethanol free also.

    ALL of the major brand stations are 10% Ethanol here . Checkered flag is the only non Ethanol one here in Madisonville. My neighbor owns a station that is under Exxon and he says they do not have a choice.

    Good info Bluegill. I would keep looking for local stations for non-ethanol added. Glad we have a non-ethanol station close by who chose to for boaters they told me.

    Interested read.

    Has the Ethanol Boom Run Out of Gas?
