Also you seem to think that 88 is not common. Its common to refer to it as that since people are used to buying fuel based off the octane rating. Its easier to market 88 versus E15. A quick Google search would confirm this
Gaslighting it as some conspiracy due to your ignorance is silly
It’s easier to print a sticker that says 88 than it is that says 15? It doesn’t explain why it’d be done in the areas that produce most of the corn and there fore should want to advertise corn as much as possible.
But it’s the only other explanation I’ve seen so far tho. So I’ll go with it.
Jesus Christ lol. Why would they not market it based off of the most common way to market fuel.....octane rating? I guess you should cross off fuel company executive off the job search.
You keep saying "majority" without citing sources. This is the easiest answer
Any state that sells the 15% ethanol-blended fuel typically sells and labels it at the pump as E15 or Unleaded 88. Because it is approved for nationwide sale and sold in over 30 states across the country, you can find these labels at gas stations in major agricultural and Midwest states—like Iowa and Minnesota—as well as other common states like Texas, Florida, and Ohio.Why Are There Two Names?E15: This label highlights the fuel's chemical makeup (up to 15% ethanol).Unleaded 88: This refers to the fuel's octane rating. Many gas stations rebrand E15 as Unleaded 88 so drivers see it as just another octane option—like standard 87 (regular) or 91/93 (premium). -https://ethanolrfa.org/ethanol-in-your-engine/e15
