In San Antonio, The Shell that's at the intersection of Huebner Rd & Fredricksburg Rd had non ethanol fuel on 10/31/2009 so there is a good chance they still do since that was basically 2 months ago. Texas pumps must be labeled if they are over 1% ethanol.

Call before you go to verify they have it. Good Luck

I'll take a photo of the labels on the pumps. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission checks all the fuel & pump volumes, so I seriously doubt there is any ethanol in the gasoline if it says "100% gasoline, no ethanol" on the pump. The stations also advertise the fact they sell 100% gasoline. If it's not, a lot of false advertising is going on up here.....

Ethanol pisses me off, lost about 3mpg on the highway with the switch to E10. I also screwed up my tuning, had my A/F ratio all dialed in now I need to richen it up to account for the added ethanol.

I think you can thank the 2005 energy bill for that. Gasoline sellers are required to sell a certain escalating amount of renewable fuels. Ethanol is about the only thing that fills the bill, so E10 becomes pretty much standard at pumps.

I'm not a fan, but there's nothing to do about it around here. All pumps are E10.
