I thought that ethanol percentage had to be listed?
The two stations that we use, Quik Trip and a national truck stop chain with 93 octane, do -not- list ethanol on the pump, do I understand you to say that they -do- have ethanol and just don't list it? In other words, we chose Quik Trip (midwest) since it is very difficult to avoid ethanol in ethanol-ville, and we -thought- that their 91 octane was ethanol free. The truck-stop is not brand affiliated, but seemed to be the only ethanol-free 93 octane in our area. When our gas mileage improved on the 93 octane, we thought we were golden (finally).

Labelling regulations vary by jurisdiction. Even then, pump labels aren't necessarily accurate. Ethanol is added locally and can vary load to load. Only way to know the ethanol content is to check it.

Around here, it is very common to see a sign on a pump that says "May contain up to 10% Ethanol by volumn." I'm not positive, but I think that disclaimer is on 100% of gas pumps in our area, regardless of brand. But I've never seen a sign indicating a particular percentage.
