Gasoline Question

[sauerkraut]

Hey Gang, I think this question was asked before, but does anyone know of a gasoline station in the Tulsa area that sells pure gasoline without that corn oil in it? The only place I can find is a station on Southwest Blvd that has a big sign out front that says they sell pure gasoline. That ethonal stuff drops my power way down and my fuel mileage too, It's pure crap. Most states require the fuel stations to post on the pump what they have in their gasoline- the pumps don't say nothing in Tulsa. I asked at QT stores and the clerk told me that all grades of their fuel is 10% corn oil.. In Omaha, NE. the stations sell only the mid-grade of fuel with corn oil, the low grade and upper grade is pure gasoline. They have stickers on the pumps to that effect too. My old heap runs much better on pure gasoline. Thanks,[B)]

A) it's not corn oil- that would be bio-diesel

B) ever since July, at least, QT along with every other gas vendor has to post on the pumps clearly that the gas contains ethanol

C) when was the last time you were in Tulsa?  That Sinclair station on SWB across from the refinery has been closed at least a year, if not longer.

10% Canola

There are a number of stations here in town that still offer 100% gas.  Unfortunately with the recent price declines they can't maintain parity with the E10 prices.  When gas prices approach $4 for regular though they are usually in parity.

Paradise car wash at 71st/mingo is 100% on regular and premium.  E10 on mid grade.  They carry a 10 cent premium, but the 2-3 mpg increase over E10 usually offsets it.

I can proudly say I've been QT free for over 6 months.  It feels pretty good.  Don't support piss water gas stations.

Gas here is either 10% one thing or 10% another.

I think he's talking about MTBE; I don't think it's lawful to use it in OK anymore.  I know several people using kits to test gasoline that tests the purity of gasoline (i.e. how much ethanol/methanol is in it or any other additive) and the stuff here doesn't contain MTBE to my knowledge.

My 100% gas station blew up a week ago Saturday. Don't know what I'm gonna do now. [V]

I go to Paradise because of the free vacs...when my kids make a Hotzi mess in the back, I can suck it up there instead of crudding up my vac at home!  Paradise customer for life!

The corn oil is ethanol, or it's made from that stuff as I understand and it's blended with the gasoline and ethanol does not have as much power as pure gasoline and your mileage drops. The station that sells pure gasoline on Southwest Blvd. is just north of W 41st street (on the west side of the street) they have a big sign that says they sell pure gasoline. I don't know about that Sinclair station by the refineries never been there.

Since you live in Columbus, Ohio it is not a surprise to me that you have never been there.

Again, since you don't live here you don't know that there is now a state law that requires gasoline stations to display on the pump a sticker that indicates how much ethanol the gasoline contains.  

In the Owasso area, the Shell station on 86th street across from Reasor's sells ethanol free gas.   The Sinclair station at 145th and 96th also sells ethanol free gasoline and the Sinclair in Collinsville sells ethanol free gas too.

The S&S Market on 61st and 33rd West Avenue has 100 percent gas. It's a Shamrock station.

I have been to some QT stores and their pumps say nothing, but the clerk told me they are all blended 10% with ethanol. Thanks for the info I will make a note of those stations.
