The person who wrote the one called non ethanol has no idea what they are talking about. There are a handful of stations here in town that do have non ethanol gas. The pump will say it in the form of a sticker of some kind. I have been in the fuels business locally for the last sixteen years so you can believe what I tell you.

I have personally owned and operated eight convience stores for years but now retired. the major oil companies DO NOT regulate the fuel prices. what they do is sell their surplus fuel without the additives that are sold to branded stores such as EXXON SHELL BP ETC.this fuel is sold to the independent stations as much of a discount as ten to fifteen cents a gallon. a branded station cannot compete with the independents with this difference in price. a station is typically charged 3.5 cents on the dollar to handle a credit card. this leaves very little margin profit for the dealer. as time goes on you will see more stations close due to the enviromental regulations imposed by the federal government. THIS IS A PLOT TO GET THE PRICE OF GAS UP TO A $5 or so price range. ITS A COMMIN

>>>>>I herd that they could not compete. Being that they were not an independent station, Shell regulated their prices.
If they could compete with their gas prices, they might put raceway out of business. Will not buy raceway gas.

First off, I worked there at Gee Willies and we were an independent station, therefore Shell regulated our gas prices…sorry to lose my job, but have already found another one…just not ready to open their doors yet!

I knew it was just a matter if time, when they quit serving food at 2:00 in the afternoon. We finally had a nice store for gas and to get something good to eat and BAM IT’S GONE!

There is an iPhone app for Ethanol free gas with maps and locations. Just search for Ethanol free finder in iTunes. I use a store on Olive Rd near Old Palafox. 100% Gasoline for $4.25.

Hey Bloodsworth,
I’ve got an ‘86 GMC Caballero and whenever something breaks on it, then I’ll call Skip at Parade; get him to tow me to his station and fix it again. He is honest, dependable and willing to go the extra mile to help a customer. Plus my old car runs better on the 89 octane pure gas.
