    Went to the CITGO station with the sign that the gas was still pure and fill up. When I go in to pay the guy says it is not anymore, because the state made him switch to E-10, but he has not taken the sign down yet. :mad2:

    Bottom line is, stay away from CITGO (unless it is E-Free maybe) as I got the worst mpg and response on that stuff I ever had. Ran half out, added Shell and it got better.

    To true my friend, but I won't make that one twice. Live (do stupid things) and learn as the say. :Thumbsup:

    MM, checked with the guys at the Marathon station last night and asked them if their gas had ethanol. Their answer to me was "no etha-hall, you buy gas?" So...marathon may still be ethanol free, at least in Columbus.
