You are exactly correct!
As with MTBE that preceded it, pumps utilzing the 10% ethanol blend are clearly marked. Here in Strafford & Rockingham counties (southeastern NH) all pumps now display the ethanol sticker. But when I cross the line into Carroll County, the first station you come to on Route 16 (the Irving in Union) and all stations I have frequented north still carry "straight" gas.
Since "straight" gas retails about a dime or so cheaper than the ethanol blend, there have been several news stories here about motorists venturing over the county line to get the "straight" gas, causing headaches for local stations on the wrong side of the county line.
Several reports (one from Channel 9) state that it is only a matter of time, once prices of ethanol stabilize, that the blend will infiltrate most if not all of the State.
I'll keep buying the "straight" gas as long as I can!
