[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2802056, member: 3099"] Several things have happened in that time. I know that at some point there were only a few Texas counties (Houston, Dallas, etc.) requiring ethanol or oxygenated fuels but maybe they've changed. I know that the previous poster saying you can't find non-E10 fuel is true in the panhandle, exactly where one would think that you could find real gas since there are oil wells and tank batteries everyfreakingwhere! Also the .gov has created an environment that basically forces them to quit refining all the different octane grades. Most of them, key word being most, are only doing 84 and 91 gas. How do they get 87 and 89? They blend the appropriate amount of ethanol or mix the two together to get the grade they need in the case of pure gas. I agree with 4play, you likely got a good batch of REAL gas that was probably from a local refinery there in Texas. [/QUOTE]
