Ethanol stickers taking shape at gas stations TULSA, OKLA. (KOSU) - Service station customers are seeing a lot more stickers concerning ethanol at the gas pumps.
Some of the stickers notify the public that the fuel contains up to 10 percent ethanol, while others proclaim that customers are getting 100 percent gasoline with no ethanol mixed in.
A new state law that went into effect yesterday requires gas stations selling ethanol-blended fuel to place stickers on the pump notifying the customers of this fact.
State regulators will be inspecting pumps to make sure all retailers are following the law.
Stations that use ethanol in their gasoline without notifying consumers can be fined $500 for each day of the violation and can be shut down by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.
Oklahoma's ethanol sticker law was passed this past legislative session after many stations began selling blended gasoline in the past year without telling customers.
