[QUOTE="ElscottHavoc, post: 14089515, member: 93145"] I see. I didn't know there were only two tanks. But then I'm still confused. So, say a local station here in Iowa offers: 87 Octane Regular Unleaded - $3.49 87 Octane Super Unleaded - $3.39 91 Octane Premium Unleaded - $3.59 Why is the Super Unleaded still 10 cents cheaper? My assumption is based that it deals with the ethanol subsidization still, yet they share the same blend and have the same octane rating. From the surface, besides price, super and regular appear identical. And if you were to blend 91 with the 87, wouldn't you still get an 89? Yet, they still claim both regular and super as 87. Or maybe I need to do further research and perhaps some 87 octane without the blend has not been phased out yet, but I could of sworn enough time has passed and that I've seen them both marked as ethanol blended - was in 2013 this was enacted.
