minus-squareSemi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·8 months agoThere are a few stations near me that have E85, “88 octane” (which is just 12% ethanol), diesel, and three grades of gasoline. Since you can’t mix those other fuels with gas the pump has four hoses and you still have to select the grade of gas.
