Gas Buddy indeed says MN not required to label, but my experience here is opposite. Furthermore, the law requires 10% biofuel (as an oxygenate) in all gasoline sold at retail for on road use (All fuel sold in MN for on road use must be "Oxygenated Gasoline") and further restricts to an ethanol content of 9.2-10%.Many States require such labeling, but some do not. Patrick De Haan from GasBuddy tells us which ones don't:
Does your state require ethanol labeling? - GasBuddy
It's a fact that many know about ethanol- it contains less energy than conventional gasoline, and results in lower fuel efficiency. Some states have movedwww.gasbuddy.com

Almost all stations label whether it contains Ethanol, and How much, and they definitely label if it does not contain ethanol ("Non Oxygenated" fuel here is, by law, only usable in vehicles not designed for it, off road vehicles, boats, and small engines, and must be minimum 91 octane.) It is not dyed, however, so not sure how exactly they can enforce it. This sometimes leaves one in a lurch to either choose to violate the 'Oxygenated Fuel' law or put lower octane than required in a vehicle, since often the ethanol free is the only 'premium' available at a station.
