    Agreed to all your points, except it's more like 80 cents higher on the per gallon price in my little town.

    I use deathanol free here in Wyoming. Now all we need is Biodiesel free. This biodiesel/deathanol scam is costing those who own vehicles big time. Not to mention the fact that when they can use corn for fuel they can also saturate the fields with pesticides/insecticides that are not for food crops or consumption.. Meaning? That shit gets right down into the ground water and we ingest it anyway. I am no eco-terrorist" but common sense is common sense. Then you have the GMO on top of it all.

    I'd say the next sequel to "Wrong Turn" will be filmed in Iowa or Nebraska. Thanks to the idiots that want to "save the planet".

    We have a 10 percent added ethanol fuel here in Colorado. Two gas stations recently moved here with ethanol free. I have been running the ethanol gas in my truck for years and use the BG CF5 to rid the fuel lines of water yearly. The ethanol free gas is about a dollar more a gallon. Im not sure how my truck would react switching back. Maybe nothing will happen.

    Wow, it would be great if Ethanol free gasoline was readily available. Fortunately, for me there is an Ethanol free station not to far from where I live so it is not that much trouble to get Ethanol free gasoline in all of my yard equipment as well as our Yamaha outboard for our Whaler.

    Here is the trouble with continuing to be able to find Ethanol free gasoline. The United States produces an abundance of corn. We grow more corn than we can consume. As a result, the government has subsidized the corn farmers in the United States. Rather than disposing of the excess corn, we put into gasoline.

    Right on! I saw the same site years ago there was only two in Ca back in the day! I used to be able to get VP race gas at a pump in Lancaster, Ca it was around 8.90 -9.50 a gal for 100 to 105 octane. The place was in such a bad area the worker got shot for money and now some regular gas station is there. I wish it was still open.

    Upstate NY has a chain of Stewarts convenience stores (also New England states) that sells 91 non-ethanol. I call it hi-test & use it in small motor yard machines :D

    Everything but the driveshaft. B03A - 410
    I see on one of the real gas sites that a Walmart Murphy station sells ethanol free 91. I drive by it often.

    being located in the smack dab middle of corn country i don't have any answers on the corn cabal politics of this ethanol :anonymous:
    i know its bad for rubber fuel lines such as i had on my late 70s toyotas
    .... often experiment with BP ultimate and Shell V power nitro+ @ 91 octane and supposedly ethanol free, have not really noticed much difference other than possible placebo effect
    occasionally i throw some snake oil from Lucas oil in the tank
    dealer keeps wanting to clean and deCarb the system for some extra profits

    Pure Gas .org site accurately shows the only three non-eth stations in my parish.
