More choice?

I doubt that this will mean more choice.

Since gas stations are not likely to install another pump, one of your previous options will be replaced with this E15. Also, from what I hear there are only 2 tanks underground- 1 filled with regular and 1 filled with premium. It then mixes them to give you the mid grade. If they put E15 in one of the tanks, they're probably going to put regular in the other one, meaning that you'll no longer have premium at that gas station.

Larger stations (like Wawas) with multiple pumps could devote one of the islands to E15 like they do for diesel, but since the demand for it won't be as high as it will be for either gas or diesel I don't know why they'd waste their money doing that instead of installing another gas pump.
