I'm not trying to be argumentative; I'd love to find a station where I could get 100% gasoline in MN. But, I think alot of confusion about whether or not stations carry ethanol has been caused by the lack of labelling requirements.

Web sites like pure-gas.org are lists created by the general public who may be misinformed. Here is a link to a 2007 article referring to the MN state mandate for 10% ethanol. http://minnesota.publicradio.org/dis...ethanolpolicy/

I'd love for somebody to prove me wrong, but I don't think 100% gas exists in MN.

 

So which is better, 87 octane pure gas or 93 octane/10% ethanol? Those are my choices.

 

I got gas up in Pine River MN and the pump had some premium labeled No Ethanol
for ATVs. So I made sure I drove on a half block of gravel that day

 

Yep, I don't think the mandate applies to gas for Off Highway Vehicles. So, officially I think you broke the law... but if I had a local gas station with that option, I'd be doing the exact same thing (minus hitting the gravel)!

 

Ethanol is made from corn oil. Corn oil contain Sugar. You ever see what happens to Sugar when it burns? It truns into the black brittal blob. Imagine what it does inside the engine after a while. I use a stabilzer for ethanol and I have a Gas station near by where I fill two 5-gallon gas cans with to use. I'm propably going over board but hey, it's my bike and it does runs better I think

 

The Ethanol Free gas in my area is like .65-.70 a gal more..... It is 89 octane.. Good question, what is better, 89 no ethanol or 91-93 w/ethanol..

 

There is a Citgo and a Mobil station in my town that has 93 octane, no ethanol, she purrs like a kitten running that!

 

I also used BP gas recently and I thought that my bike was running better. I was not sure if it was me or not.

 

Lol. One of the most creative (and inaccurate) arguments against ethanol I've seen so far. Nice work!
