    Ethanol

    What is going on with ethanol everywhere else? In my part of Oklahoma only about 25% of the stores are still selling it. Most have signs up stating they have switched to real gas. Curious if it is ending everywhere else? Not much in the news about it.

    Maybe RINS are trading high in other parts of the country.

    My brother lives on OK and pretty much echoes what you stated.

    MO Law must contain 10% in regular unleaded if price is over a certain threshold $2.50(?)

    Some stations all of their fuel contains ethanol even Premium (e.g. Casey's General Store.)

    And why is ethanol fuel the same price as regular ??

    It's just like bio-diesel, lots chaeper to make, but they still sell it for basically the same price.

    ethanol is a joke.the places that sale regular gas here with no ethanol are only 10 cents higher than ethanol blended gas.so is it really worth the ten cents.everything else went up that uses corn.and you get less gas mileage.it a bunch of BS.i would rather pay 10 cents more for it and get real gas!

    Only 2 ethanol free gas stations around here that I know of. Too far to drive so I use StarTron at every fill up for the boat.

    The only thing that make ethanol cheaper to make is the federal subsidies. And they're set to expire pretty soon if they haven't already.

    We have a few stations around here that sell real gas but it's usually more expensive. The place down the road sells it but it costs about .35 cents more a gallon.
