Default No ethanol gas

I was just wondering how many of you go out of their way to just use this gas in their bikes.

We can't get it here, but when I'm out on the road I use it every chance I can get. I generally get another 50-60 miles per tank with it.

I always try to avoid ethanol. I have a website saved on my phone that helps me locate ethanol free gas when I'm away from home.

I use pure gas when ever I can get it. I will even use pure gas 87 octane if it the only octane in pure gas available in leu of 93+ corn gas. It runs much better, improves mpg by 3-4 mpg. It even smells right. There is an app you can download from puregas.org for your smartphone that lists pure gas stations by state. This is updated daily by users.

There are several 100% gas stations where I live and I never buy E10. On a trip, it is a bit more difficult to know where to go on short notice.

Luckily I live in a state where you can find pure gas reasonably easily.
For the Bike, most BP stations have 91-93 (depending on seasonal mix which) premium that is ethanol free.

Several other station brands have the 87 without it as well.

As for going out of my way for it? Nah, I just make sure my ride route goes by one when needed heh.

No way I will run that ethanol crap in anything I own if I can help it.

I'll second the puregas.org app.
