Is it possible to avoid ethanol-laced gas in Maryland?
A reader asks an interesting question:
Is it possible to buy real, 100% gasoline (not that ethanol junk) in Maryland or any surrounding state? Are stations in MD required to label the pump if the gas contains ethanol? If not, where do people find gas for their lawn mowers, boats, and older model cars? Ethanol ruins those engines. Just wondering....
You MAY be able to find 100 percent gas in rural areas such as the Eastern Shore or Garrett County. But at least in the summer time, stations in Central Maryland carry 10-percent ethanol blends because they cut air pollution. Given how much ethanol is being produced and how hard the federal government pushes it, I think you'd have a hard time getting it anywhere. Anybody know where you can buy pure gasoline?
