Got a friend who is a marine mechanic for the local navy base, works on a small fleet of outboards, mostly Verados on RIB dive boats and Whaler Guardians. He was telling me they run all non ethanol in all motors and are not allowed to use any blend of it. So apparently the govt does not have to follow their own rules

Gas is not blended with ethanol until loaded into the tanker trucks. So if you order 1000 gallons of E-10,they put in 900 gallons of gas and 100 gallons of ethanol. Then the agitation of the road trip mixes it.

That s the reason the sticker on the pump says May contain up to 10%. I used to have a test kit and have found it as low as 2 to 4 percent

All EPA mileage numbers are with non ethanol

Like spare says, nothing but a govt sponsored shell game
