I agree with others above that say we need to repeal the non-labeling law. I for one would like to know the ethanol content of the fuel I'm paying my hard earned dollars for. Ethanol is less efficient and consumers should be able to choose what EXPENSIVE fuels they want to use in their EXPENSIVE vehicles.

Also, marinas in Michigan should be able to sell 100% gasoline with no ethanol, as ethanol is a BIG problem in older boats with fiberglass fuel tanks. Ethanol doesn't store well either and boats in Michigan are typically laid up for the winter. Storing gasoline/ethanol mixes for 6 months of the year causes BIG trouble as well.
