Where to find ethanol free gas.

i've seen more and more stores here switching back to pure gas on all tanks. especially the independant owned ones, the main local supplier has switched to only no ethanol gas so they had no choice. Funny thing is the same main supplier here has a huge biodiesel plant in town and turn out truck loads of ethanol a day.

up in your neck of the woods it is harder to find pure gas and costs more, here the price is the same or in some cases cheaper lately!

Be sure to pay attention to the stations when you get there. I've found that site has very poor data about stations around these parts.

However, they're very quick to respond to emails updating them of a station's corn-free status.

You can update them yourself. It is all user generated. You can add or delete sites with a few mouse clicks.

if you have a boat and use lake michigan they are all around. you need at least 2 credit cards to fill up. other place would be an airport

Don't forget they have a POI file that you can import into your GPS. I use this all the time as there are tons of ethanol free stations around here. On my Garmin, the stations show up under extras>custom POIs

Interesting, one of the closest gas stations to my house is on the list and I didn't even know it existed.

If I have a car the requires minimum of 91 octane would it be better to stick with that or switch to ethanol free 90 octane?

I'm going to use if for my lawn and yard equipment. More recent cars should be able to handle E10 alright.

We've had a TON of problems with our small engines at the Fire Dept, since our fuel supplier started providing E10 or E15... It's been murder on seals, filters, etc.

We've started buying PetroCan/Sunoco Ultra 94, as it's the only reliably Ethanol free gas we can get. We don't need the octane, just the "pure" gas...

Esso is pure gas, bud. That's all I use for the most part.

Esso blends Ethanol in some regions... Including mine.

Dang, never have seen the 'may contain ethanol' sticker here yet. Might be just in the larger cities? I don't know.

Thanks for the info though.

I don't know the rule either, and I suspect it would be state by state. I do know around here that stations advertise when they have "pure" gas, with a label on the pump stating it is ethanol free. Our local shell has a sign by the road stating their premium is ethanol free.

Here, it's posted. We seem to only use 10% maximum, or none at all but I can't verify that.

im pretty sure petro canada has ethonol free gas, have u tried them? or you can find a sunnoco somewhere? btw all the sunnocos converted to petro canada, and some converted to husky, actually to think about it husky might have ethonol free gas too, try them? and stay far away from shell, they have so much ethonol its not funny
