Any years Ethanol free fuel

 That's true, the only mixing of the various blends is among those using ethanol, and it's just the length of the hose, so you don't get much of something else.

That's the same layout I see a lot in my area with the 3 ethanol blends on the same hose.  E85, diesel, and non ethanol always have their own hoses.  Sometimes I think there is a hose for every option but it seems more common to have the 3 share one.  My guess is its lower initial cost and lower maintenance costs. 

Speaking of single hose mixing....
When I worked at a Sunoco station many years ago, you could select your octane. I would notice the occasional performance car pull up next to the pump then drive away. A bit later he would came back and do the same thing. Eventually he would stop at the pump.

One particular evening one of the regular customers driving a Chevelle did this. Ours was a full serve station so I inquired about his behavior that day. He told me he was waiting for the previous customer to have filled using the highest octane as he didn't want to pay for all the lower octane fuel left in the hose. This was about the time gas went from 50 cents to over a dollar. I explained to him that the hose going to the nozzle was actually two hoses with an outer wrap so the mixing occurred right at the nozzle. 😁
I educated a couple of others that summer.

 This reminds me of when I was a kid and my dad needed to fill up the car. He would cruise the main boulevard looking for the cheapest price, probably burning more than he saved.

Did you ever ask was cruisin looking for cheap gas also how he found mom?  Or all the family cars?   Maybe it was worth it in the long run?

 Hahaha, no, I never gave it a thought, but it's possible I guess, lol!
