ethanol mix is required by state law in areas for clean air. it has nothing to do with customer or supplier. it replaced another additive. esp during summer months. if you identify the state in goog search you will find out if your state law applies.. it's easy to find laws by state under search. i do not know of any exceptions.

Quick Google search yielded this: Washington requires 2 percent ethanol in gasoline and 2 percent biodiesel in diesel fuel no later than November 30, 2008. The requirement will increase to 5 percent once the State can produce biodiesel equal to 3 percent of its diesel demand [27]. Louisiana enacted a requirement for 2 percent ethanol in gasoline and 2 percent biodiesel in diesel fuel, once sufficient capacity is built in-State [28, 29]. Assuming that Louisiana’s 2-percent and Washington’s 5-percent requirements are triggered, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Washington will require 102 million gallons of biodiesel in 2012 and 146 million gallons in 2030.
