Ethanol?

In the mid west(corn belt) is ethanol blended in
gas at the refinery?

it used to be blended at the pipe line terminal when the fuel was loaded on the semi.

Hardly the Midwest, but here, just as tom says, it is blended in at the terminal going onto the truck. That way the last outfit to handle it is the one stuck with dealing with any issues.
My dealer had to pump out and clean his 10000 gal. tank after hauling the first of that home to his storage. Tank had never had anything but gas in it, but the ethanol loosened a lot of sludge.
I was afraid of the same trouble with my tanks, but haven't had any trouble with tanks or vehicles.

New scientific study out today says that ethanol pollutes just as much as gasoline. The governmint probably won't admit it though.

Its actually an opinion piece, written by Big Oil, and distributed via email to anyone willing to bite on it.....

Nothing scientific about it.

I do feel for Big Oil, they are having tough times, but doesn't excuse them from putting out stuff like that.

Its a concerted effort, you see the same old same old appearing all over, lot of work behind the scenes by Big Oil, to try to influence and lobby Congress.

Just not real tho.
