Almost every station I go to has ethanol (up to 10%) added to gas. For a long time I had the option in my area to buy non ethanol gas but now it’s harder to find.
If a gallon of ethanol gets less mileage per volume than gasoline, then how is it better for the environment if I have to fill that much sooner on gas because the ethanol component lowers my tank range?

Everything said here is baloney. Ethanol is the most wasteful boondoggle in American history. It is terrible for the environment. When you factor in the energy expended to create ethanol it actually creates more carbon emissions. There is also the wasted resources on growing the crop, from water to fertilizer. The American consumer pays more money for an inferior product that hurts gas mileage. It exists soley as a handout to farmers in politically important states. Also, are people really trying to claim that the emissions are carbon neutral because it started as a plant? That makes no sense at all.
