Are there any non-ethanol gas stations

I have been searching for non ethanol gas stations online, does anyone know how I can find if there are any in my area w/o going to each one?? I was in the Keys a couple of months ago and found one, so I know they are out there. Thanks..

I'm guessing you're in Florida, right?

I just filled a five gallon can and my truck with non-ethanol gas about an hour ago. I had to get 91 octane, and the price is $.30 more per gallon, but that is what I run in my snow blower. There are two locations left in WI that I know of, East Troy and Hustisford.

Indeed, ETOH sucks the sweat off a dead mans *****. I have to drive almost 60 miles, one-way, to get to the nearest station outside of Houston (I-10 east of Winnie) to find it. I loose more the 2mpg running E10 and my MPG goes down to 9mpg running E85. I agree with the website posted above, there should be at least a non-ETOH option in premium fuel.

Must be nice. It's because you are in a county 1)that doesn't have a large population city and 2) isn't adjacent to a county with a large population city. In my neck of the woods (Houston), i have to go leave the adjacent counties to find ETOH free gas. Basically, Harris county is the epi-center and all counties bordering Harris county (Galveston, Chambers, Liberty, Montgomery, Chambers, Waller, Brazoria) can't sell ETOH free gas either. It's a bunch 'o suck.

Dumb question. I noticed the next town south of us has 2 stations of non name brand fuel that advertise their fuel doesn't contain ethanol. Does non ethanol fuel make that much of a difference ?

Must be a local thing. I buy most of my gas at a local Shell, they sell Ethenol blend. In fact, I think it's state law that anything sold in Mn. has at least 10% ethenol.

There is also a BP station in La Crosse and another in Holmen that has 91 octane non ethanol.

Out of curiosity: For those of you who find stations with non-ethanol addative, what is the price in comparison those stations with ethanol & gas addative?

One of the [few] advantages of the ethanol & gas mandate is that it has bought the prices at the pumps down, so I'm assuming you all are paying more....albeit a little.

Correct?

I'd rather add fermented vegetable oil in my tank than BP fuel.

The price is $0.30/gallon more for non ethanol. I ran it in my truck for a while, but the mileage difference vs the price increase in the fuel it was a wash.

One station in my area doesnt have ethanol and its outrageously expensive compared to all the other stations.

I just fill up with 87 octane e10 because its not worth the drive or the gas mileage savings to spend more on a gallon of gas.

More detail on the location please, I would like to put them in my GPS in case I'm ever in your neighborhood.
