who gives a crap.

I have never once in my life contemplated ethanol content.

When you get the stuff that isn't 10% its noticeably different, much better mileage. Ethanol is a racket. In they call the cheap shitty ethanol "Super Unleaded" and its actually cheaper than regular unleaded. Some Casey's General Stores in Kansas also try to run this bullshit, Casey's in Maize comes to mind. All of the QTs in Kansas use the garbage 10%. If fairly certain the state incentives gas stations for selling shitty 10% ethanol.

i don't really know a lot about gas but I thought that QT has "Top Tier" rated gas, isn't that good?

Yes that's good for sure.  It burns cleaner and over the long haul will keep your engine in better shape.  Phillips 66/ConocoPhillips is also top tier and at least in KS is usually not 10% ethanol.  There's one or two other top-tier brands (Exxon??  Shell?? BP??) but I can't remember who they are.

It all comes from the same place.  The real factor is how fast the gas station empties it's tanks.  The longer fuel sits the more it will degrade and bacterial growth can occur which can plug filters and ruin injector.

I can pretty much guarantee none of you work where I work.  But just in case:

Did anything significant take place in Dallas last week?

I agree, but if I were near the ocean there would be a lot of seafood options that are better than Red Lobster. For seafood in the midwest, other than a few diamonds in the rough, Red Lobster is usually about as good as it gets.

Not really. It still needs to get flown in.

Just look at the seafood restaurants per capita on the coast compared to the midwest, which really only has Red Lobster. If your coastal city doesn't have a seafood place that is better than Red Lobster, I would say it's probably an anomaly.

True,  if all you want is stuff that's locally available.   Japan has probably the best seafood places in the world, how much is caught locally?

yeah, and those places are extremely rare and have very limited menus. In SF there just aren't many good locally caught fish.
