Where to find ethanol-free gas.
 

Ethanol Labeling Laws - State by State Guide.

Most states require gasoline containing ethanol to be labeled as such.



Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada

This site has a user-generated list of stations where ethanol-free gas is available. The site doesn't verify the information, so it could be wrong our out of date - but in most states, it will be labeled.

I'd encourage you to check the label on your gas pump, and add any ethanol-free stations that you know of to the list.

Too bad I just fueled up. I would like to try a tank of ethanol-free gas and see what happens. I guess I'll have to wait another 750 miles (fingers crossed!)

What are they using to oxygenate it? MBTE?

With MTBE banned in 25 states, the answer is pretty much "not outside of Dixie".

But it's a good question. What are the alternative oxygenates? What about underoxygenated fuel?

...would that be "water" since it's hydrogen has already been "burnt"?

the only place that sells ethanol free gas in florida i have found is certain sunoco's. the problem is that the gas is 110 octane and costs about $8.00 per gallon. sort of defeats the purpose of it. although the 110 works great in my banshee atv!

...ah, the (in)famous blue & yellow SUNOCO 260..."street" racing fuel (ha,ha).

Luckily they sell pure gas no ethanol added at a local Shell station here.

i could be wrong however i don't think its the 260. right on the pump it says it contains lead and is not a legal street fuel , the store clerk wont sell it to you if you try to pump it right into the gas tank.

The Cenex stations I've been to have ethanol free gas.

Actually there was an independant gas station in the Keys that sells Ethanol free gas. My guess is most people there use it in their boats. They also sell it for $3.19 a gallon vs $2.79 ish available now.

bump ...

I was looking around on Google to locate ehtanol free stations in Canada or in my area (Montreal) and I found this post burried in the results! :D

pure-gas.org was one of the first thing I found but it's kind of vague. Found other forums where they were discussing ethanol free in Canada and found more details.

Turns out all of 91+ octane gas in Canada seems to be ethanol free. Petro-Canada SuperClean 94 (in Montreal only) is also one that many high compression engine owners like to use.

With the gas price at 5.5$ a gallon for regular right now I think I'm gonna pass and wait a little. When the prices will go down I will try to see if I can get some premium and look at the FE.

This post was from 2012. Wonder if the poster ever tried ethanol-free E0? Even in our high-priced part of the U.S., 87 octane E0 did get as low as $3.10 last year. During the summer, our 140,000 mile, EPA highway-rated 32MPG Hyundai Accent, got 18 tanks in a row that were over & well-over 40MPG.....80% of those tanks, running on 87 octane E0.

Just found out the coop station nearby has it... for like $1.40 more per gallon than regular (it’s premium octane).

Even more recently I saw a sign at a new station saying they had E0, but I didn’t inquire about the price.

Maybe I’ll run a few tankfulls one day for “science”.

I tested a tankful of non-ethanol gasin my old Festiva and found it was basically just more expensive with no visible benefits. Of course that was in a twenty year old putt-putt beater, so who knows what it would do in a newer car

I do run non-ethanol gas in all of my lawn equipment, generators, pressure washer, and my boat since it doesn't gum up the carbs. Maybe I should run it in the Volt since the tank that's in it is the same one that was in it when I bought it last October

The really obvious comment: did you do alcohol testing on some samples?

Fuel suppliers tend to WYSINWYG.

Hello fellow ND person! Cenex isn't a nationwide chain, for what it's worth.

Our ethanol free unleaded 91 octane (no they don't add lead to it) is about $.20/gallon more than the premium 91 octane which is $.20/gallon more than the least expensive 87 octane. Exxon, Conoco, Sinclair, and others all sell it but not every station.

More than anything older snow machines and outboard motors really need it. You put even the 10% stuff in something made 20 years ago by Bombardier or even Mercury and it will melt the inside of the fuel lines, gum up in the filter, lean out the motor under power, and seize a piston.

That's too bad about your problems. Last summer, using 87 octane E0, 85% of the time in our 140,000 mile, EPA highway 32MPG Hyundai Accent, 18 tanks in a row were over 40MPG. The highest tanks were all E0, the top three being 45+, 47+ & 48+ MPG. Our two Hyundai Elantras AND the Accent have small gas tanks, but ALL of them registered 500 miles on single tanks of gas. During last summer's boon of "efficiency", two of the cars were wearing used boots, much larger than standard.

We got our 2016 Elantra brand new with full 100,000 mile warrantee...... for under $13,000. Some people were getting new Elantras for $11,000 recently.
The so-called Elantra scandal was a bunch of talkin' head leadfooters who wouldn't work to get 30-40MPG. I knew it before we bought two Elantras, both which have gotten 45-46MPG. For the first year of the 2013 Elantra, using 87 octane 100% E0, I over-all averaged 39MPG (pencil & paper, not car computer).

Oh, good! You can go on a scenic drive. That's wonderful! Yes, dealers are dealers. They ain't goin' ta give no good deals, ifn they can squeeze ya for more loot. But now you have a low-ball price. Go after it. First, don't tell them you know the internet low price. Second, you can call one of the sales-people now & begin haggling on the phone? Tell them its the wrong color AND you have to drive so far(don't tell them how far). Third, don't talk with anyone, when you walk on the dealer lot at the end of the month with a paper, comparing other potential purchases. Have a pencil to add information, like serial numbers & identification codes. Papers, pencils & writing scare sales-people so they hand you off to a more experienced sales-person. Tell them, you can find a better deal with a competitor that is further away..... tell them you can get a great deal on a Toyota, which have better colors than Hyundai (true, Hyundai colors are NOT the best)! Is the deal on a manual tranny Elantra? If you don't buy it, it might sit on their lot for a long time. That's what I told them & they sold a bottom-low priced manual Elantra to me, as it was rolled off the semi, not even washed yet.

Bought some a week ago after googling for ethanol free gas and found a site with this station last updated in 2018. Had it in the middle mosts pumps with a red handle and separate button. Annnnd it was $.50/gal more.

Bought it for kicks.

I've only burnt clear Premium in the SUPERBeetle since I got it. It is equivalent to the 1971 Regular the car was designed for.

One thing I found in research but haven't tested is that if you try to buy clear Premium on the coast, they make you carry a gas can out to the end of a pier.

Good News
 

Murphy USA is constructing (building currently) a brand new fueling station on location way close to where I am located....The promise is that it will have ethanol free fuel there. amen. … BTW there are now several ethanol free threads out there

Mentioned on some other thread, but good here too:
pure-gas.org now lists 15,000+ E0 sources. Also, New York state now lists 1000 E0 sources within its borders. E0 continues to rise by grass-roots word-of-mouth, only. E85 languishes, despite backing by gov'ts & the "ethanol in gasoline industry".
