Re: Gas confusion

It was suggested that I use premium, not for the octane but because it has a lesser amount of ethanol. Not sure if that's correct. I haven't checked, but wonder if the percentage of ethanol is displayed on the pumps.

Premium has the same ethanol content. The only thing that changes are the additives.

Just going off the pump labels at Kwik Star the premium says no ethanol and recreational fuel. The other pumps have labels with 10%, 15% and of course E-85.

And if you can't make up your mind theres always this pump. This is at a station up in northern Minnesota.

That's a lot of choices, Here in California most stations only have 2 pumps, 87 and 91. Some have a 3rd 89
