That law needs to be revoked.

I think Minnesota was the first state to mandate ethanol in all gasoline sold in the state, and they have a pending bill that would increase the percentage to 20% in 2013. With the state mandate they simply don't publicize the fact at the pumps, because it's all the same.

I really doubt that statement unless you buy it on an indian reservation or a marina. As far as premium - not a lot of cars need premium any longer so I really don't think many distributors can afford to maintain a separate storage/shipping facility or truck. But - for the 15 minutes it takes to disassemble the top cover and look inside an Edelbrock Performer carb to check for crud - well, I guess you don't need my advice as a 20 plus year user of those carbs.

Enter page 34 on the above .pdf and you will see your MN state requirements. This is it in brief:

"Ethanol Profile
• Labeling Laws: No label required
• Number of Retail E85 Stations: 307
• Ethanol Incentives
- Retail Pump Incentive for Ethanol-Blended Fuel—(MN Statutes, 296 A.07)
* E85 receives a 5.8 cent per gallon exemption from the state’s 20 cent excise tax on gasoline. E85 tax rate is 14.2 cents
per gallon. No tax exemption for E10.
- Ethanol Production Incentive—(MN Statutes, Section 41 A.09)
* Subject to state funding, a 20 cent per gallon incentive is available to ethanol produced at eligible facilities that began
production on or before June 30, 2000, for up to 10 years. Annual payments are limited to $3 million per plant. In
2003, payments were temporarily discontinued and reduced to 13 cents per gallon. No payments shall be made for
ethanol production that occurs after June 30, 2010.
- Ethanol Use Standard—(MN Statutes 239.791 Oxygenated Gasoline) (SF4)
* Since 1997, virtually every gallon of gasoline must contain fuel grade ethanol at a volume of not less than 10 percent.
Premium gasoline may be sold without ethanol if properly labeled.
* In 2005, the law was amended to require that if ethanol does not comprise at least 20 percent of all motor fuels
consumed in Minnesota by December 31, 2010, gasoline blends must contain fuel grade ethanol at a volume not less
than 20 percent by August 30, 2013. Implementation of this provision also requires the state to petition the U.S. EPA
certifying that E20 is compatible with and will not cause increased emissions from gasoline engines."
