Here in Kansas, and in most of the states I have recently visited, service stations are no longer required to post notice that their fuel contains alcohol. I used to purchase auto gas at the Kwik Trip because they have a good reputation for quality control. About six months ago, after testing some of their regular grade, I found alcohol. I spoke with the manager of the Kwik Trip and he said the corporate decision was to start blending 10% alcohol at the pipe line terminal. But they decided not to post that on the pump because the law no longer requires it. The alcohol blend is currently quite a bit cheaper to produce. I then tested fuel at most of the other local stations and found alcohol in all the fuel. None of the pumps were posted regarding alcohol. I almost gave up until I found out that Shell has a corporate policy of posting alcohol content. I called Shell headquarters and spoke with one of their engineers. He advised me that currently none of their stations in Kansas sell gasoline containing alcohol. I then found a Shell station about 10 miles from my home and I have been buying gasoline there since then. No alcohol.
