This commentary is a must-read, and in Bobby’s typical style, he
separates the wheat from the chaff – or in this case the corn from
the husks. If you have a FFV
(Flex Fuel Vehicle), you have choices at the pump: gasoline and
Ethanol (both E10 and E85).

FFV,

If you’re wondering why no such
locator exists for E10, it’s because no national labeling policy
exists, and only South Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa mandate such pump
branding at a state level. That means that you could be enjoying
the benefits of E10…and never know it. Of course, the next week,
you could be pumping pure gas or another percentage Ethanol
blend…and never know it. Be curious. Ask your station manager
what’s in the underground tanks. Better yet, request a clearly
branded E10 pump.
