Yah, per volume Ethanol has less energy content then gasoline.....
Are there any fuel stations left in WA that generally do not sell alcohol laced gasoline? I was at a Chevron near SeaTac airport the other day (for diesel) and found the "up to 10% ethanol" on the gasoline pump.
Gas + Alcohol

Yep, Puyallup south hill has (1) station that does not have it in its fuel. Exxon station.
Also for H2OSKE:
Ethanol Mandate
On December 1, 2008, certain motor vehicle fuel licensees must provide evidence on a quarterly basis that "at least 2 percent of total gasoline sold in Washington" contains denatured ethanol. High octane gasoline used in aircraft that is not blended with ethanol is exempt. The Department of Ecology may increase the ethanol RFS to 10 percent upon determining that (1) a higher percentage will not jeopardize attainment of federal Clean Air Act ambient air standards and (2) sufficient raw materials are available within the state to support production of ethanol at higher levels. As with the reporting requirements for biodiesel, public disclosure of financial, commercial and proprietary information is prohibited unless it is disclosed in aggregate form.
