Found this site on a fishing message board. People with boats have bad problems with ethanol in the gas.

It lists the gas stations in the US that have ethanol free gas.

www.pure-gas.org

 

Looking at the list of stations, I noticed that there weren't any from California -- not surprising really.

Was surprised that there would be stations selling ethanol free gas in some of the corn growing states. I would think that they would be the first to embrace the stuff.

 

Yeah. And did you hear the recent news? That bonehead Al Gore now admits he was mistaken about the ethanol **** that the government now mandates to destroy our private property.

 

Unfortunately, the government rarely reverses its mistakes:

 

That site is woefully out of date. The gov. added a new
incentive to get refiners to use ethanol and they've all
jumped on the bandwagon. United refining was one of the
last around here to not use it, but no more, explaining it
was in their best interest to use it. Some of their dealers
were Kwik-Fill, Velero and a couple others. I listed a couple
stations on that site that weren't using it a long time ago and
I noticed they were still there. I guess I'm supposed to update
the ones I did, but I haven,t.

 

If your having troubles finding non poluted gasoline, maybe try the local street rod or car clubs in your aera.

Here the Minnesota Street Rod Association has a list that's fairly up to date.

I run the non oxygenated stuff in anything I can.

Okay...not the sharpest knife in the mechanical drawer here I admit. I am assuming that non-ethanol gasoline is okay to run in my '08 Deluxe? Does it come in hi-test or is it all the same grade? There's a Shell distributor real close that advertises 100% gasoline for 4-wheelers, boats, and such, but I've never thought of using it in the bike. Hate to show my ignorance, and glad you guys are here to set me straight...thanks!

 

None in central virginia. A lot in hampton roads area and some hillbilly locals in the mountains. Ethynol is big political business. Nothing much we can do about it. Can't boycott it if you want to ride.

 

Simply put...thumbs up for "non ethanol" and vice versa.
I would be suspect of those that say they don't have it in
their gas. Not saying they're lying but you can test for the
presence of ethanol yourself. One part gas in a beaker or such
and exactly note the line, same exact amount of water, shake, let
stand for a couple hours. Gas and water won't mix, so if the gas
line is now lower than before, you have ethanol in it. Sunoco once
told me they didn't have it, but they did.

 

Most all of the retailers here in Ohio now have it as they are unable to find sources without it very readily. Marathon was the last here to give in and I can tell since the fuel economy on all of our vehicles has dropped about 10%. It is a problem for boaters if you don't treat your fuel and store outside. I use Stabil Marine formula which is made for ethanol specifically in my boat and bike.
