Granted most of IL sells E-10 but I think that may just be a convenience factor for the producers.

fordors we have a choice over here in the NW corner...... BP, Phillips 66, and Casey's offer non-alcohol gas at most of their stations. The non-alcohol is only like 20 cents more per gallon BUT if you run a couple tanks full then check your mileage it goes up 2-3 MPG, so it is worth it anyway.
Most everybody pulls in and pumps the cheapest they have, bad idea.
At least we're not California those folks are really getting it put to 'em.
My sister filled up at a Sam's Club Walmart gas station one day last week in her new Mustang GT, because it was a little cheaper. She said her car ran so bad on the way home she didn't know if she would make it. I told her 'Get back over to Chevron that is the best gasoline you can buy out there!'
