I saw that article somewhere while I was researching this. The article agrees with everything I have been reading. The article did fail to mention the 1.0 exception allowed by the EPA when Ethanol is blended with real gasoline. I did read somewhere that 84.3 is the minimum octane that fuel can be BEFORE 10% ethanol is added to make it 87. That is probably what I got out there in Montana a month or so ago.
Thanks Bob.

Rob,
You are profoundly correct. It seems that you are, indeed, too lazy to do the math. ;-)

Larry,
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
I guess what I SHOULD have asked was will the two lots of gas mix so that I wind up with 4% Ethanol in solution or will they stay
separate?
Regards,
Rob M.
