... yup ... makes sense.

... nope, you won't be able to find anyone that sells non-oxygenated fuel

not pay to fix the damage that is done to your FI system by the MTBE

I found out last year that Union 76 sells oxygenated fuel year round.
I got a letter from Union 76 asking why I haven't used their card
