The requirement for ethanol in their gasoline. Man that would be a great trend to start. Hope it passes.
 
Does no one think of the one family corn farmer living in Iowa? How will all of these Hawkeye interlopers survive?
 
Not trying to get political, but I would be surprised if State law trumps federal regulation. About the only place I can think of where that is the case is CA because they have higher restrictions than the Feds typically.
 
I've had a riding lawnmower, outboard motor, and chainsaw suffer from ethanol poisoning. Now I spend $7 on gas treatment for every 3 gallons of gas.

It is a requirement in PA? I can buy ethanol free in Florida and Georgia.

Non ethanol gas is regularly available here. Do you have a marina close? They usually carry it. Would be cheaper than what you're doing now.

State law only supersedes federal law if it is more restrictive.

well except when the Feds choose not to enforce federal law (I.e weed)
 
Yes, non-ethanol gas is available in FL,GA, but if I am not mistaken, you are only supposed to be able to use it for boats, lawn mowers etc.

We have plenty of stations that sell it at the pump. Most only in premium grade but one that sells it in all grades. Pull your car up and fill the tank.

I saw that driving back to Texas from Tally along the coast. Once you get out of Fla. it is few and far between. It was also way more expensive. Can't really find it around here. I know a guy that washes his E10 gas with distilled water and then adds some octane boost. He uses it in his 56 Corvette with the old type fuel injection that doesn't run for crap on E10+.

PUI? Around here it runs about .25-.35 more a gallon.
 
What's funny, it where I live the FWC won't put ethonol gas in their boats, and none of the govt vehicles put it in their autos either, they use the two ethonol free stations.... why, because they know it's associated to damage to your car.

So it's another case of the govt mandates it, but doesn't use it.

I have two local stations that sell it, but the price difference is way higher - between $1 & $1.50 more per gallon.

Oops, '57. His was a '57 with fuel injection. It was available from '57 to '65.
