Angry non biofuel stations

Does anyone know of a list of stations nation wide that sell no more than 5 percent or non biofuel. Recently I was coming up through MS and stopped to fuel up and the pump had a sticker 5 to 15 percent. My manual says no more than 5. They do not consider people with older engines and I am not a happy camper sitting on the side of the road changing a fuel filter been there done that. I know some believe it s ok to used higher ratings but I try to stick to what the Cummins book says. I guess when I get to a half tank I need to start looking and spend the other half doing that. I use Diesel Kleen ever tank and have since usld.

The Chevron pump here reads '5%-20% biomass fuel.' I have used other Chevron pumps that don't have the sticker.
Go figure.

The COSTCO fuel station that I frequent sells Diesel #2 only. I have asked the manager if all COSTCO fuel stations sell only #2 and the answer was yes. COSTCO is nation wide, although not as readily available as major gas stations.

In the state of Oregon, it is mandated to sell only 5% Bio-Diesel. No Non Bio-Diesel available, period.

All the Valero Stations I’ve used have been Diesel #2. Not sure if that holds true nation wide.

Not sure, but I believe there is currently a Bill before the Governor of California, waiting for his signature to mandate Bio-Diesel only.

I wouldn't doubt that that mandate comes to fruition here. Nice time to invest in fuel filter companies with the scouring action of bio.
Gruesome's on a roll,fueled by liberal celebrities driving the boxy Mercedes.

No bio in AK. At least I haven't seen it listed on the pumps yet. We do have ethanol in the gas again. As far as bio, I do believe that is a state mandated thing. Ethanol however, I think is a federal thing. It use to be part of the immersions testing mandate, but now I think it's just mandatory.
