    Default BP has ethanol free gas??


    I was at a BP the other day and noticed a label on the mid-grade gas that said "ethanol free". Regular and supreme did not have the label. Anyone know if all BP's carry it? The one I was at was at exit 157 on 85 between Burlington and Durham. If so I will start filling the boat at BP, despite the bad press over the oil spill.

    I have decided not to buy any BP products for the foreseeable future, it will take a long time before i will put any trust in them.

    Chris, without getting into the spill issue, BP,s gasoline is supposed to be ethenol free as well as HESS which is a division of BP and close to my house. There is not another gas station close to my house that sells ethenol free gas so I buy mine there. I'm no fan of BP right now but I ain't putting ethenol in my boat just to spite them.

    Just get him on, then we'll worry about getting him in!

    B4 everybody gangs up on BP,,which ive never had a problem with,,,i heard on the radio today that the oil rig exploded,,is not what caused the spill..report i heard was that bp,s inhouse firemen couldnt do their job the way they wanted too becacse the us coast guard came in and gave orders to use so much pressured water,,instead of the foam,,and the pressure was too much and caused the leak--who knows--but if theres anything to this i,m sure it,ll break in the nex few days...i,m no fireman so im not sure of the wording,,...i dont know where all that oil came from anyways the government says we aiint got no oil..im like palin drill baby drill.

    BP uses a chemical they call "Invigorate". I tried searching the web for what it actually is and had no luck. They claim it "cleans" your engine as you drive..ie just like ethanol.
    I may be reading more into this than necessary but anyone else know what "invigorate" really is?

    I ask a manager of a local Hess station about them being a division of BP and she said they weren't. In fact she said they get a lot of their fuel from Exxon and all of there gasoline has ethanol in it. If this product called invigorate cleans an engine like ethanol, wouldn't it be just as bad for an outboard engine, especially a 2-stroke?

    Invigorate is just a word that BP uses to market gasoline.
