As far as I know Oklahoma is the only state that does not put ethanol in their gas - guess were I fill up at......

Became mandatory in Virginia as of May 1st, 2006. I just heard on the news last night that a new study is indicating that Ethanol is "worse" for the environment and public health? I know it's worse for my boat's fuel system....:mad:

Not all of VA has it.....some of the very rural areas do not run it.....I used to tow out of the way to fill with non-ethanol fuels.

TRUE. In my county they don't have it & one county over they do.

Do you know if the pumps around Anna have it? Their pumps arent marked for it.

Defintely had ethanol there.

Metropolitan area... more than likely.

I don't believe the counties around Lake Anna have Ethanol.

Off the top of my head:

Henrico: Yes
Hanover: Yes
Caroline: No
King William: No
King & Queen: No
Prince William: Yes

Pumps are to be CLEARLY marked "Contains 10% Ethanol" if its in the mix. Linster had a map showing all of the counties that have and don't have.
