All Valero stations in PA = no ethanol?!?!

[truav8r]

According to pure-gas.org, all Valero stations in PA serve 100% gas?? Is this true? If so, I'm in luck... all 3 local BP stations just became Valeros in the last couple weeks

What's interesting is that Valeros in other states aren't listed (NY for example).

That is an interesting site. Thanks for posting.

I saw that too, and all Lukoil stations owned by Blouch in central PA are ethanol free. You can do your own test to test for alcohol.

See the last post on here: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1450767&page=2

On a related subject, I noticed a lot of BPs changing to other stations, are they pulling out of PA?

I'm not sure what the deal is with BP here in central PA. 3 of them are changing their signage to Valero this week (Mifflinburg, Lewisburg, Selinsgrove). Could just be one particular franchisee, or is it a regional sell-off??

Thanks for the site posting. I found 2 gas stations by me, that are free, that I will be using now.

Thanks for posting this link. I believe that I have one valero not too far from me that is not on the map shown here. been looking for 100% gas for the last couple of months for my bass boat and may have found it. will have to see if that station I am thinking of really is a Valero. I too have noticed that the BP stations are going and mine have been replaced with Exxon.

Stopped in to the "new" Valero (old BP) in Mifflinburg today and asked the guy if they have ethanol in their fuel. He wasn't sure, except to confirm that if they had ethanol in the fuel, the pumps would have to be labeled. And there is no label on the pumps.

He didn't exactly instill a ton of confidence in me (or himself, either!) but we both walked through the "if A=B and B=C then A=C" logic and just nodded our heads, and considered the problem solved

Dont rely on him, do your own test. See my first post in this thread. Might want to wait a while so all of the BP labeled fuel is "washed" down with Valero gas.

According to my records, I last purchased gas at the Valero station in Zelienople, PA in December. It **DID** have an e-10 sticker, so unless something has changed in the intervening months, pure-gas.org is incorrect.

that list is full of errors for new york

 

[pair of Blazers]

in NY the one for Barryville is wrong hes a Citgo station for a while now. don't know about the E10 though. I'll check net time I go to my mothers place.

So an other un-reliable source.

 

[elwaylite]

It's only as accurate as us getting out and updating it. Instead of complaining, maybe we should make sure our areas are correct on the site???

Wow, what a novel idea...

no gasoline in NY is ethanol free by law. There are other states like this too.

I don't think that's true. I bought E-free gasoline upstate several times last year. All of the counties in the downstate area are required to have ethanol as a oxygenate though.

I bought some of the Non ethanol gas in Daytona Beach and my quads ran like [censored] on it, not even as good as the Ethanol gas. It was unbranded gas, so that could have alot to do with it and all he sold was the 87. Who knows what garbage it is. I know when he first started selling it, people were lining up to get it, especially boaters and lawn care people. Now I dont see anyone there and I dont buy it anymore either. I am thinking they had the same results, I had. If the guy would start using a higher quality gas, it would be a goldmine. He was getting about .30 a gallon more for it.

Where does it say all Valeros in PA are ethanol free? All I see is a list of different individual stations.

It used to be at the top, someone, presumably someone from this site, changed it. Anyone can add a station, it does not get reviewed.

BP is pulling out of 26 counties in PA by June 30th.
