PSSST, Don't Tell Anyone

As I travel the this great state I am always looking for gasoline stations that sell real gasoline with no ETHANOL in it. So far in northeastern Wisconsin I have found three stations without the crap in it!

No Ethanol Gas Stations
Mobil - Taylor / Shawano Ave
Citgo - Hwy 41 / HWY B Suamico
B P - Hwy 45 Summit Lake


I always make it a point to thank the owner or tell the attendent to thank the owner of the station for having real gasoline.

Here is a dirty little secret that I should take to the Wisconsin Consumer Protection.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, they don't want anyone to know. Gasoline stations that sell gasoline with ethanol get a .10 reduced cost for the blended gasoline.

That means they are price gouging customers! They are charging the same price for 10% blended as for regular no ethanol gasoline. Wouldn't this also be a part of price fixing?

If the market is set for regular non blended gasoline and they are getting a .10 discount then they should be charging .10 less than stations that charge for real gasoline. Where is our A G on this?

Where is the outrage? Link to Wisconsin Consumer Protection

SHHHHHHH, lets spread the word, only buy gas at real gasoline dealers. Support dealers that are trying to make it with regular non blended gasoline. They need our business. Don't forget the soda ands snacks, they need the profits!
