Thanks to the EPA (again!)  you can only find the non-RFG at country side
or Alaska (the state banned the RFG).  That's why I always stop at the gas
stations in rural area whenever I have a trip out of Dallas.   You can
smell the gas to distinguish the RFG and non-RFG,  If you smell strong
chemical (MTBE) and feel dizzy, it's RFG for sure.   Chevron used to post a
warning sign that using the RFG may cause the engine fire since it will
dry-out the rubber faster and cause the fuel leak.   No longer though.
