Citgo
I live in Florida and noted in my last fill-up that Citgo now contains 10% ethanol.
My local Tom Thumb that I have used many times over the years has now gone to this formula and I am wondering if this is just local ,statewide or national. Interesting that when my car was still very new I did pump a tankfull of this stuff in Texas and ran a CEL for an hour or two on a trip to Calif. I've never had a CEL since but I do have an aftermarket exhaust with an HFC now that I didn't have then. So far no CEL after approxamatly 50mi. but i really do not want to run this stuff in my car and will not use Citgo in the future. If anyone does run ethanol laced gasoline routinely, do you have any comments on the effect with your car?

If you have a Shell gas station where you live, their V-Power (91 octane) contains 0% ethanol. At least that's what their label says here in Toronto, Canada. Though I cannot say for certain if perhaps it is only like that in Canada or internationally.
I can't find a gas station without 10% ethanol. There's no shell in my immediate area, but I'm fairly certain the shell stations close by also have 10% ethanol, perhaps it's not in their V-Power thougn, I'll have to check.
I haven't experienced any problems since purchasing the car 17 months ago. I average 26mpg and have never thrown a CEL
