According to the comments on airnav.com regarding Modesto airport (http://www.airnav.com/airport/KMOD/SKY_TREK#c), someone mentioned that Shell has been selling gasoline without ethanol in northern California gas stations since 2006. Is it true? Back to top Robert M. Gary Guest Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2007 2:17 am    Post subject: Re: Northern CA Shell selling non-ethanol autogas?

I thought the ethanol content was mandated by California law. -robert Back to top M Guest Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2007 2:41 am    Post subject: Re: Northern CA Shell selling non-ethanol autogas?

I can't run mogas in my Mooney but it would be nice to not have to overhaul the carbs in my lawn mower, edger, and weed eater every spring to get the corn syrup out. -Robert Back to top RST Engineering Guest Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2007 10:32 pm    Post subject: Re: Northern CA Shell selling non-ethanol autogas? This is either an urban legend or Shell headquarters doesn't know what is going on in the field. It is, however, true that the Californicate law requiring ethanol sunset last year; it is no longer mandated. I emailed Shell headquarters (in Houston) yesterday and asked if this "no ethanol" in its premium fuel is correct and they said no, all their fuels contain ethanol. If anybody has hard evidence to the contrary, I'd sure like to hear about it. Jim "Robert M.

As an aside, anybody (service station or not) can get as much pure gasoline of any octane that they wish from regular to premium at the refineries over in Pittsburgh (CA) and Antioch (CA) ... the kicker being (and how Modesto does it) in 8000 gallon minimum loads.
