PA guys - gasoline?

Is MtBE oxygenated gasoline illegal or banned? I filled up at an Exxon in wyomissing and the pump still said "contains MtBE". It may be in my head but it looks like i'm getting better mileage on this tank than usual.

Has anyone else seen non-ethanol pumps still available?

yea especially at Exxon stations. it may just be an old sticker.

generally this is not a good idea, but you can definitely smell the difference between MtBE and ethanol oxygenated gasoline. Ethanol, obviously, smells like a yummy shot of vodka, while the MtBE smells more like a sharp solvent smell. I'm going back to that Exxon to sniff some gas lol.

Yes, there's a place called Millersville Mart in - get this - Millersville. There's also Charlies on 322 in Ephrata. The truck stop in Ephrata also has non-ethanol. I believe all Citgos are still ethanol free. I was getting it for a few fill-ups, but my gas mileage didn't change (I keep a notebook, not just guessing) & I was spending more for it.

Yea i run BP in my cav. Im pretty sure it is non-ethanol. It smells different and it actually burnt the skin unlike the athere junk gas. My cav does not like any gas that has ethanol. It always miss fires on top end. so that is why i switched to BP gas. What a big difference.
