Ok, thanks for the explanation! I had not heard that term before. I'm in California, so will check this weekend when I go to the pump.



I have nothing to add about stabilizers not previously said.

Looking at a gas pump in California this weekend will tell you nothing about whether gas bought previously contains oxygenates or not. Oxygenated gas is sold in [most of] California during the winter months - November through February. The AQMD sets the counties affected, and unless you live way out in the sticks, your local gas station will be selling oxygenated gas during the cold months. Previously, the additive of choice was the wonderful MTBE. Now, they use other additives.

It's when you bought the gas.

Down to just a blue car now.
