No, the pumps still say "No ethanol" or "Up to 10% ethanol" depending where you are in our state. In rural areas one can still get 0% ethanol.

Back in elementary school I thought sure I would win the egg drop science class challenge.

I lost though.

I thought I had the perfect plan.

On the morning of the challenge they wouldn't let me bring my hen on the bus.

It was pretty crappy of Ford to put those GEM units in such a wet location like under the instrument panel.

Even crappier of them to stop providing parts for their trucks, in particular, since its such a thing for people to keep them going as long as they can. I get that they think they can sell more trucks this way, but that doesn't make it right.
