Does your gas cap/surrounding bezel say "E0-E15"?

Something like this:

So you see where the red pumps have CONTAINS ETHANOL sticker?

Why does not the blue one then?

Idfk why they put the "contains ethanol" on the gasoline side but has the ethanol indicator on the sticker above the pump for 88.

Call your congresscritter and demand answers.

I will agree, you'd think they'd put the "contains ethanol" sticker on the blue button to warn dumbfuck Karen that her 1998 Corolla will not run on 88 because clearly 88 > 87 so it must be better.

Well, tbh I started pumping the blue simply cause it didn't have that sticker above it sayi CONTAINS ETHANOL

 

[DEEZUZ]

I stopped the pump though

Reading forums... Sho guys say to run 2 gallons of e85 and then rest premium and it yields around 95 octane and it's completely safe...

A waste of tanks and money, is what that is.

Casey’s in Belvidere has 88 labeled fuel it’s like 3-5 cents cheaper than 87 . I assume since it has more ethanol you will get lower mpg .

Unleaded 88 is just how they are marketing it. It's e15. Use it.

I often put e30 in our edge, even though it says e15 max.

I've scanned a bunch of rides recently that are supposedly on e10 gas but the sensors showing mid 30s for content. Either gm sensors have a universal issue or they're using the ethanol to make up for how bad the base gas is is my guess

 

[P40E]

I have a feeling Casey’s uses 88 so when you see their big Sign from the street and see the 88 price it looks they are the cheapest gas in town . ?

DEEZUZ - I have run E15 in my Ecoboost F150 and my brother runs it in his Ecoboost Mustang.

Look at your owners manual, but you should be fine driving under normal conditions.

Not sure how old the E15 is at the pump as it is not common like 87 octane

Water in the fuel will skew how the sensor reads too, so it's probably not actually that high.

Then there's alot of water in that shit ?

Use the blue pump and go race GTRs

Gas with no ethanol is at 84, premium is 91 (pending refinery). They will make mid grade by mixing the two.
84 with 10% ethanol =87
91 with 10% ethanol =93
84/91 with 10% ethanol =89
It will vary slightly but those are the basics. Anything else is usually more ethanol added because tax credits for using a renewable fuel.
