Wheatley, Arkansas		Local co-op has sign in front of their pumps that says; We now have regular gas with NO ETHANOL, is there even such an animal out there? Whatother oxygenates are available besides ethanol?

It may not have any. In MN they sell non-oxygenated gas that is legal for use in small engines, outboard motors, and collector cars or cars eligible to be collector cars. However not every station carries it.

Thumb of Michigan		There are "E Free" pumps in Michigan, usually (but not always) in areas catering to recreational use. Marinas and stations close to a snowmobile, atv trail system. And, the "E Free" is typically 10 to 30 cents higher than E 10.
Which, on a different note, stumps my anti ethanol friends who still think if there was no ethanol, gas would sell for under a buck.

northwest tennessee		Coops here have had it for a long time. It can run about .15 higher but worth it in small engines and gas tractors.

"It can run about .15 higher but worth it in small engines and gas tractors."

I've used nothing but ethanol in everything from chain saws to tractors and never had an issue. Wouldn't buy anything else.

Central Illinois		last Monday driving west from Memphis towards Fairfield Bay, about 50 miles north of Little Rock. Noticed several stations along the route advertising gas only, no ethanol. One was a farm co-op. Locally, gas has jumped big time this week, 3.97 to 4.10. However, that vile and nasty E-85 is 3.35.

East Central Arkansas		We had it at MFA untill this summer and they stopped carrying it. I don't think the ethanol is mandated in AR is it?

Hagen Brothers farms,Goodrich ND		There is a band of states from ND to Texas where air quality is good enough that there is no oxygenated fuel mandate. In ND we can buy E0-E10 or E30-E85 from blender pumps. A lot of Cenex stations have the blender pumps.

Michigan.		Marathon Rec 90 and 91.

Filled the skid tank last spring and paid less than what E10 was going for.
Got damn tired of the ethanol wreaking havoc on the small engines and older gas engines we run.

The Marinas get a premium because of the regulatory nightmare and expense of having a tank next to a body of water.
A bulk tank fill should be the same or cheaper than running the E10, and wont go to crap in a couple months like the blended junk.
Bonus is that the stuff is FAA approved for certain aircraft applications.

High Springs, Florida

A few gas stations near recreational boating areas carry it here in Florida. Ran it in the Harley, when I took it down to the Keys in March.

List of stations in US, http://www.pure-gas.com 

They also have an iPhone ap, as well.

Seneca Castle New York		You can find in several places here in New York State. It is about 40 cents more per gallon. I filled my GMC Sierra with it last week and lost about 1.5 MPG.

Our local co-op carry ethanol-free gas. I buy it for all my small engines om the farm, old 91 Chevolet pickup, and my Farmall Super C. Quit having problems with small engines since I started using straight gas. But my wife Suburnan get E-10 gas since it have a flex-fuel engine and plus it a little cheaper.
