    So where does anyone get Ethanol free gas for their trucks?
    Sounds like the less ethanol, the better MPG.

    Easier to find ethanol free around lakes or the coast - E10 can play havoc with marine engines.

    Puregas is a good source but the app is a little flaky

    Ethanol free is available at almost every store here in Iowa and South Dakota which is ironic because of all the corn and ethanol plants here.

    No, but you may find areas where most/all of the non ethanol is premium grade.

    Stations can't afford to carry multiple grades.

    from what I remember, to get eth free you have to find 91/93 octane. I only see 87/89 octane with eth.

    Shell and Sunoco stations here in Columbus offers Ultra-high 93 octane gas... Not sure if there is less ethanol at this grade and how to find out.

    No, there is non ethanol regular in some locations but mostly around marinas.

    It's more a factor of the market....

    My station just started carrying 87 non-ethanol.
    I've been having to buy 91 non-ethanol.
