Long ago when I lived in Canada, there were gas stations that had hybrid fuels for cars that contained, I believe, ethanol. I've not seen anything like them since.

I cannot speak for all of the USA but here in central US, our fuel is 10% Ethanol.  And regular cars, small engines, they all use it.

I am attaching a screenshot taken from our local farmers coop showing fuel (and some other) prices for your enjoyment.   ;D

If I understand correctly, 10% ethanol mix is mandated by federal law (in the US) during the winter driving season. Something like between November through March?

Interestingly, the price always jumps up right about the time it switches over too. So much for consumer savings.  :-\

P.S. CT is running about $3.89/gal for regular octane gas. Diesel just topped $4.00/gal :'(

You people probably already saw this, but I feel the need to point it out nevertheless: Does your donation truly help the victims?
