Does your gasoline contain Ethanol?

MTBE and Ethanol, as well as several other alcohols and ethers, are all classified as oxygenates.
In many areas of the country, oxygenates are required to be part of the gasoline formula. In those areas, our gasolines will contain either Ethanol or MTBE or similar ethers. These areas include those requiring RFG, California CBG and others. If you read the various information posted at our pumps,
you may see a line stating "CONTAINS TEN PERCENT ETHANOL" for the gasolines that do.
Since most states require labeling of dispensers when Ethanol blended gasolines are provided,
you can easily determine if Ethanol is being used during your next fill-up.
Performance
Auto manufacturers approve, and even recommend, fuel enriched with up to 10% ethanol for all cars.
Flexible fuel vehicles are designed to run on E85 (85% ethanol and 15% gasoline) — the cleanest-burning, renewable fuel available today.
By looking at your vehicle’s fuel cap, you can tell if it's a flexible-fuel vehicle — meaning it can run on regular gasoline, 10% ethanol-enriched fuel or E85. Fuel enriched with 10% ethanol is manufacturer-approved for use in small engines, including power equipment, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and outboard motors. Ethanol is the highest-performance fuel on the market, with an octane rating of 113. Ethanol-enriched fuel contains more oxygen — so it burns cleaner Fuel enriched with 10% ethanol burns cleaner, helping to remove leave gummy deposits in the fuel system, so engines can run with optimal performance. Enriching fuel with 10% ethanol helps it to burn cleaner and at a cooler temperature, which can add to engine longevity.
Environment
Ethanol is a clean-burning, renewable fuel.
E85 is the cleanest burning fuel available on the market today.
10% ethanol-enriched fuel reduces carbon monoxide better than any other gasoline — by as much as 30%.
The use of 10% ethanol-enriched fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissionsup to 19% according to Argonne National Laboratory.
Ethanol reduces tailpipe fine particulate matter emissions by 50%. These emissions pose a threat to those with respiratory ailments.
Ethanol is biodegradable, meaning it won't harm groundwater in the event of a spill.
American Made
Ethanol-enriched fuels account for approximately 30% of all fuel sold in the United States.
Ethanol is made from crops grown in America, primarily corn and milo.
Today there are more than 95 ethanol plants across the country.
Ethanol replaces gasoline that would require the use of 600,000 barrels of oil a day.
Last year, the United States produced over 4.3 billion gallons of ethanol.
The U.S. ethanol industry supported the creation of 153,725 jobs in all sectors of the economy in 2005, boosting household income by $5.7 billion.

The Complete Picture:

We at Mobil Hicksville want to present a "full picture" for our visitors:
Making gasoline from food, when children go hungry in this world... We don't see any gray areas here, just right and wrong. America is so much better than this. If we can send men to the moon and bring them all safely home again, we can find another way. A better way and provide food for the poor.
NASA has been using Fuel Cells that run on Hydrogen for the Space Shuttles since 1981, so why don't we have fuel cell cars in 2012?
