The refinery in Lake Charles is one of the only refineries in the state that still sells conventional fuel. So i would think that most stations around the chuck should be ethanol-free

I read a report from someone that appeared to be very knowledgeable (?).
He said that Marthon Oil refinery was the only refinery in Lousiana that was not making ethonal gas.....and they were suppose to make the change sometime in Aug or Sept. Maybe his information was only about refineries along the Mississippi river?????

Yes Citgo does have low sulphur diesel unit. Several years ago when they put this unit in my company sold them the tower internals (distillation equipment) for it. ConocoPhillis is looking at putting one in but at this time it is on hold.

True all gasoline is about the same....but not exactly the same. Gasoline is a blend of several [about 4 to 6, if I remember correctly] different products made at a refinery. How the blend is made is based on the chemical testing of each of the component at the time the products were produced. When the blend is made.....product is pumped from several different tanks at one time and pumped into the pipeline. Each product shipped into the pipeline is only seperated by a "pig" [round ball] so there is some cross mixing of different batches of products shipped through the pipeline. With this process......every batch [maybe a 2 to 4 million gallons] is slightly different. When I worked at a refinery many years ago.....everything was added at the refinery. If a blend was off spec. [octane, vapor pressure, color, etc], a doctored blend was added to the storeage tank and retesting done before shipping the product to distributers. This would happen about every couple of months.

I have a friend that works for Marathon and, true, they don't add ethanol. They will be soon. You heard correctly. BTW, Racetrack stations sell Marathon fuel.
