The appearance of ethanol-free gas in the Syracuse area was not prompted by any change in state or federal energy policy but rather a response to the demand for more traditional fuel, according to the Oneida Indian Nation.

The nation starting offering the ethanol-free option in mid-May at its Sav-On station at Routes 13 and 31 in Madison County. The nation plans to begin offering it at a second station at Routes 365 and 31 in coming weeks, according to Sean Brown, director of Sav-On operations.

But NY banned MBTE because it creates dagerous ground water pollution if it leaksor spills. Much of NY state MUST have Ethanol added fot air quality, and the only thing that will satisfy Federal Air quality standars that is not banned by state water pollution codes is Ethanol!

wz Champion Author Twin Cities Posts:2,620 Points:1,303,960 Joined:Feb 2009	Message Posted: Jun 12, 2012 8:42:32 PM Ignore wz Report Abuse At a 10 to 15 cent premium, they are going to get a lot of customers willing to drive a little distance out of their way. Around here, the ethanol-free gas I've seen goes for about 85 cents more than regular (but then it is near a popular recreational lake). That may be worth it for outboard and antique motor fuel, but it is not cost effective for regular driving.

jrsva Champion Author Virginia Posts:9,999 Points:1,639,950 Joined:Jan 2006	Message Posted: Jun 12, 2012 8:28:16 PM Ignore jrsva Report Abuse “Newer cars are built to handle the ethanol-blended gas . . .” Newer cars do not suffer as much damage from ethanol as do older cars and most small engines; however, they all suffer a loss of fuel mileage, which generally makes E10 more expensive to use even when it costs less to buy than E0. Our overall mileage for our 2010 Subaru exceeds its EPA highway rating by about 20%, at least partially due to using E0 gasoline exclusively. We should all be working to repeal the ethanol mandate. Have you contacted your Congressman?
