Ethanol Free Gas

[jaydee325]

I'm probably late to the party here but, I'll share anyway since I just found out about it!

Pure-gas.org lists stations in the US and Canada that sell ethanol free gas.

It is a website that is updated by users, and many of the listings have not been updated recently, but it is worth a look and was generally accurate for my area.

There’s an app for that.
Pure Gas.

I've checked that site for stations here in Ea WA state. Many listed either never had or no longer have ethanol free gas. Fortunately, I don't need/use the stuff. The few that do seem to have ethanol free - it's only in supreme grade.

Same here. I've found pure-gas.org to be VERY hit or miss. I finally did find a station with ethanol free pumps about 10 miles off my 'rural route' so I'll have to take all the jerry cans over there once in awhile...

I use nothing but ethanol free gas, in my cars, mower and of course my 2 cycle engines. I am lucky that there are plenty of places to fill up with ethanol free gas where I live. I get better mileage and better performance. Thank Al Gore for the lunacy of putting corn in your gas tank.

I'm not a fan of Al either, but this is more about the big money farm/corn lobby that muscled this fiasco into place!:banghead:

Many thanks for the pure gas link. There are not many sources of ethanol free in California. But I found a gas station selling it about a mile off US101, in Redwood Valley. Right on my way between Sacramento and the coast. Cost $29 for 4 gallons. All I need it for is weed eater, lawn mower, and chain saw. The guys at the station pumped it by hand out of a 55 gal drum in the service bay, I guess there is not a lot of demand.

I’d find little use for an app unless you travel & use ethanol free gas in your vehicle. If I moved to a new location, one call to the lawn mower shop would get me the location(s) in the area.

Geez, $29 for 4 gallons, that's ridiculous. I pay $2.89 per gallon for ethanol free 91 octane here in Arkansas. ethanol free gas is usually plentiful near lakes and rivers because most outboard engines need ethanol free fuel.

If you live in one of the CARB compliant states, it is almost impossible to find ethanol free gas. The only EFG I can find in Maine is at one of the several small airports around the state and most won't put EFG in anything but an airplane.

That's about what I pay. Fortunately we have a store that I drive by every day that carries it. EFG and farm diesel are two of their top selling items. I use EFG in all my small engines. It saves some headaches.

Ford 2000; 3 cyl. gas.; 4/1 trans.....I'm finding more and more stations that carry ethanol-free gas around me I'm happy to say. I keep about 15 gallons on hand for mowers, tractor or small engine use and always mix in StaBil when I fill my cans. If it's getting 4-6 months old, I pour what's left of it in my vehicles and go fill up my cans again. Around here it's about 50 cents more than regular gas. I always tell the attendants I appreciate them carrying E0 whenever I go inside to pay up. I'm no expert on fuels and don't know the science but most of the mechanics I talk to blame ethanol for a lot of engine woes.

Well, we got a brand new Sheetz gas station within the last month,, and they went the opposite way,,

They sell a grade of gas that is $0.20 below the 87 octane price,, I assume it is the E85?
No other station in the area sells E85,, I hope no one buys the stuff, maybe they will transition the tank to no-ethanol.

We have a half dozen no ethanol stations now, including a VERY reasonable priced one at a local Walmart,,,

Which Walmart CAD?

Yes.....but it would seem to be quite a drive from Sacramento to Arkansas to buy 4 gallons of ethanol free gas.
Some areas in the US prohibit the sale of ethanol free gas, except in sealed containers, at exorbitant prices.

Thanks was by there today-next day to Forest beside old state route 604 and that dates me

Lobbyists are pushing for 15 percent ethanol here in Missouri, I have contacted my legislators to voice my objections The last new car I bought in 2014 is flex fuel, not that I intend to run that garbage in it, at least I know the rubber in the system is made to resist deterioration from alcohol. I need to rebuild the carb in my old lawn tractor, ethanol ruined the float in it.
I have a few Harleys, I am fortunate to have an ethanol free station close by. He is on the route to a popular lake, so many boaters fill up there.
I use nothing but Realfuel in my string trimmer, blower, and chainsaw.

Personaly i would buy that stuff. Old E0 fuel is no better than new e10. Old gas is still old gas.


I bought 91 octain E0 from a station that had every kind of gas you could imagine. Was practically yellow coming out of the pump. I now only get it from stations that have E0 as one of there 3 fuels.

Most Stewarts stores in NY carry E0 as there high test. Thats where i get mine.
