They are only in hillbilly lands up here. Not worth driving there to tank.

Much of the state of Oklahoma has ethanol free gas.

It's easy to find in my part of Florida. I use it for my 2-cycle power equipment.

I paid 3.99 a gallon last time at the local station that sells it. I only use it for my lawn mower.

In Florida, there were a few Sunoco stations which carried ethanol free gas.

Here in hill, mountain, and lake country - all use the aviation fuel. In outboard, inboard, and small engines.

Never heard of any issues. And been doing for decades.

Some states still allow 'pure gas' to be sold at dedicated gas stations. I know SC does - when I am in NC I go down there to replenish my gas cans with ethanol free gas for my small gas engines. Costs a bit more but worth every penny - and when I go down I often get a tank for my vehicle as well - and I get a lot more mileage before I have to fill up again, than I do when I use ethanol poisoned gas.


Otherwise, as several has said, check out marine gas 'stations'. Not sure but it may also be possible to find some at aviation fuel places.

40% of all corn grown in the U.S. ends up being burned in vehicle engines. Before Ethanol, you could buy 10 ears of corn for $1.00 at the local supermarket. Now they are 3 for $1.00 Having a bowl of corn flakes is now a luxury. Thank you E.P.A.

No.
No it is not the EPA.
Come on now.


The "farm" senators and congressmen passed legislation to "subsidize" the farmers.
The ethanol plants/factories are/were all subsidized by the US taxpayer.
Big corporations are feeding off of the government trough.

There are only a handful of Ethanol free stations in California and ALL of them are waaaay to far to drive to get gas......

So we pick the least crappiest gas we can find which is very hard as most of the gas is crappy.....
