List States Which Require Ethanol Mix

"Some states require a 10-15% ethanol solution be sold at refueling stations."... Can I suggest someone add the states which an ethanol mix is required? -- ViaBest 02:54, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

No state requires more than 10% ethanol, the EPA considers anything above 10% as not substantially similar to gasoline. Blends above 10% require a flexible fuel vehicle (about 3% of the vehicle fleet). MN, MT, WA, LA, MO and HI have some type of ethanol mandate, though not necessarily a per gallon requirement. About half the volume of gas sold has ethanol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.238.33.60 (talk) 19:22, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Dry gas is also a term used in the oil and gas industry. In contrast to rich gas which is the gas that is taken out of the well, dry gas has undergone some processing and contains less higher carbonhydrates and only methane remains. It is a widely used term in the oil and gas industry and should be mentioned here. 143.97.2.35 (talk) 13:15, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Statement of personal opinion without citation and failure to distinguish between ethanol and methanol or isopropanol.

The statement, "There is no point in adding dry gas to fuel that already contains a significant percentage of ethanol, since ethanol is an alcohol" fails to recognize that ethanol may not have the same "drying" effects in gasoline as do isopropanol or methanol. Not all alcohols act the same. Also, the statement lacks any citation and appears to be personal opinion. I suggest someone either remove it or reword it and add a citation.

Is dry-gas really superfluous when using fuel containing ethanol?

It seems that the ethanol in the gas as delivered could be saturated already, due to water in the delivery trucks and storage tanks en route from the refinery to the vehicle. Citation needed in any case. Pgf (talk) 13:48, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Second Paragraph Terrible

The second paragraph is badly written. The context is not clear (are gas stations required to sell 10-15% ethanol, like in plastic containers? or is the ethanol required to be in the gasoline?), several of the sentences aren't even sentences.

Someone who knows this subject and who has a good grasp of technical english needs to take a look at this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.7.106.9 (talk) 18:18, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Move gasoline ethanol content to a seperate section

The paragraph on gasoline ethanol content (as well as the benefits of using dry gas over ethanol) could be moved to another section Shivrm (talk) 15:34, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
