gasoline question
#1
I filled up my gas tank again today and it reminded me of a question I wanted to ask last time. I happened to notice on the pump, a sign stating that the gasoline was up to 10% ethanol. This was a Mobil station (sorry, but I love using the SpeedPass), but I was wondering if this is common to all gas stations nowadays. I noticed a similar sign last time at a different Mobil station.

Has gasoline always contained ethanol or is this a result of trying to keep artificially high costs artificially lower?

(P.S. For the first time in 30+ years of driving, I managed to overfill the gas tank to the point of spillage. The &$@)% pump didn't shut itself off, and it was pumping so ^&*$^&# slowly I didn't notice it until I saw it trickling under the vehicle. Really screws up one's gas mileage figures when that happens)
