I'm not aware of any pump gas being mixed with methanol and sold at retail outlets. It's all ethanol.

Yes, in my area you can not buy anything but E85, and you can not find non-E85 gas anywhere locally. You can not buy M85 anywhere, even if you tried.

Its only 10% ethanol in our area, which is pretty standard. But ethanol free gas is def not available here. E85 however is 85% ethanol, 15% gas and is a different animal for FlexFuel cars.

Yep, you're right. It's only 10% -- mind glitch on my part.

Yeah, kidney stones passing through your brain will do that.
