Is ethanol still being put in pump gas?
I do not see the stickers on the pumps that say "may contain up to 10% ethanol" any more.
I thought it had to have that notification if it had ethanol included.

E10 is considered "normal" now. Labeling requirements vary by state...interestingly, Florida is one of the ones that requires it.

Here in Iowa, the 10% ethanol stickers are still on the pumps. It's hard to find gas that does not have ethanol in it

This morning I filled up at a BP in Wisconsin and the only sticker was on premium 91 octane and it stated "Does not contain Ethanol". I guess we have gotten to the point where no ethanol is the exception.

We still have ethanol in the gas in Missouri.

Chevron in BC shows ethanol on all octane except 94.

Im in the auto industry and this is hearsay from one of our chemical vendors but they did an independent test and found most pump gas is already at 15% ethanol or dang close, but its more than 10%...according them, and they have no reason to lie....but E10 is considered the standard now.

Requires what? Label or Ethanol? If you say label then yes, labels are required for the fuel products they sell. If you say Ethanol then be aware the FL Gov signed legislation which allows stations to sell non-ethanol. It's their choice as of about a year ago. It's about the only good thing I've seen out of this Gov.

yes Federal law administered by EPA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy...ty_Act_of_2007
There is a temporary waiver that is delaying the minimum ethanol content from going to 15%

Maybe once in a great while, but you have the advantage of knowing they're coming, unlike earthquakes or twisters.
Yeah, but as long as you don't feed 'em and pay attention they're not a big deal. I sure wouldn't go chasing any golf ***** in water hazards though. 
Well, that's true. Ya can't have everything though.....
Send them your bugs? (anonymously of course... 
)
10% moonshine is the norm in the Hudson Valley, NY and the pumps are labeled.
