Anyone know how much ethanol is in Chevron's 91 gasoline?
I'm pretty sure its 10% in 87, 5% in 89, and their 94 is 0%. I asked the gas attendant and he doesn't know. I assume its maybe 1% for 91?

Why are you guys talking about E85? BC doesn't have the infrastructure.. finding biodiesel locally is easier than E85. Heck race fuel is probably easier to find (Mission).
It will be impressive if anyone find e85 locally and damage your non e85 capable pos.
If you really want to be on the alternative fuel band wagon go all the way to biodiesel instead of half assed E85 way... We are not living in Iowa or the any of the corn growing states in the US.

It just needs to be jetted and timed accordingly due to the need to run nearly twice as much of it for the same output as gasoline.

All Esso gas in BC has no ethanol in it. That's 100% confirmed. http://www.imperialoil.ca/Canada-Eng...lsProducts.asp
Ethanol-blended gasoline is currently available at participating Esso service stations in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario. Stations selling ethanol-blended gasoline have a label on the pump indicating the gasoline may contain up to 10% ethanol.

So that means Esso 87 really has 0% Ethanol in BC?

even though it does no apparent damage, you'd either get harmed a little, or none at all... the choice is obvious.

It is the ethanol that do more damage to the plastics and hoses.. again.. No e85 in town... 6 gas station in middle of no where WA state that offers e85.. the chances of e85 getting in any local cars.. highly improbable. http://e85vehicles.com/e85-Washington.htm Quote:

It's not really that important for day to day operation of your car. It's only before track day / dyno tuning / drag racing where you want to make sure the fuel is 100% what you think it is.
At less than WOT in closed loop the engine can easily compensate with a modern emission computer.

^ I don't see the Ethanol sticker anywhere in the last pic.
Which got me thinking...
Can gas stations add ethanol into their gas but not mention/advertise it on the gas pumps?

AND it's E10!!!!! Damn it. not E85.
