There is an interesting letter being distributed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture about the future availability of ethanol free premium unleaded gasoline.
On or about 1 December 2009, only 90 octane BOB will be coming down the Olympic pipeline from the four refineries on the Puget Sound, no finished premium unleaded of 91 AKI or higher. The author of the letter does not understand that the 90 octane product is not legal gasoline, it is BOB which can only be used for making E10.
In order to meet the ethanol blending demands outlined in the federal RFS mandate, all auto gasoline will be E10 by the end of 2012, or sooner if gasoline demand continues to decline.
