Rudy’s BBQ.

Beer, Beans, BBQ and a fillup after the car wash on Saturday morning.

No pure gasoline? Fill-up anyway. Have another beer. Take a nap

pure-gas.org has maps, with addresses & phone numbers for U.S. state & Canadian province ethanol-free gas(E0) sources. Surrounding, but away from Dallas, are E0 gas stations, even some 87 octane E0 sources. Many people think that higher octanes are desirable. I recommend 87 octane E0 (for low compression ratio engines), since its octane is 3 points higher than the 84 octane gasoline component for E10....AND IS the recommended octane for 87 octane gasoline engines.
Because Dallas is about 600 to 700 feet in elevation, there is even an 86 octane E0 source.

Thanks for your response

A couple of issues
To restate in my local blended Regular Octane 89 Unleaded 10% Ethanol is $2.49 with Premium Octane 92 costing more. Non Ethanol Regular is PIA to find or Locate ….even if someone thinks they have some insight on Ethanol Free in a nearby local to which I can GPS (Highly doubtful) locate.....NO FREAKING PROMISE that that AVAILABILITY has already been taken by others

FYI
Further most of any Ethanol Free Fuel is a considerable(40Miles plus) distance to hope to find and hoping that is actually in stock.

"Cost per mile" matters to the payer. But your vehicle chooses E0 over E10. That is why your engine gives you better MPG, runs smoother & may have a trace extra low rpm torque.

Two big milestones, one already accomplished & one very very near: 1) There are now 15,000+ sources for ethanol-free gasoline(E0) in the U.S. & Canada. 2) New York state has one source less than 1000 & should shortly be the first state to offer 1000 sources for E0. At least a handful of states offer well over 900 sources for E0. People continue to increase, who are learning that E0 is better than gasoline that has at least 10% diluting ethanol corruption (E10 or other percentages) added to our nation's fuel stocks. Presently, about 11,000 more grass-roots inspired sources are available for E0, vs. E85 sources, which languish, despite major backing by the federal gov't & "ethanol in gasoline companies".
