Hope its not a repost or we can just use it to inform some of the new members on here anyways here is a list Ethanol free gas stations and they also have a free iPhone app tied in with your maps to locate a station near you.

Never knew about this list, thanks for sharing! According to that list there is only 2 around me.... One is a Valero and an unbranded one -_-.

So dumb question by using ethanol free gas we should see some gains ?

You should see some gains in fuel economy. I actually live in a part of the country where ethanol free 93 octane gas is plentiful at $4.00 a gallon.

none of the stations near me had any fuel higher than 89

You're a lucky SOB. You can't get ethanol free 93 anywhere here. I hate ethanol gas and the real bitch of it is my tax dollars are funding the ****!!!!!!!!!!!

That link has been around for some time and the info can be out-of-date.

Ethanol; laced fuel will decrease fuel mileage. In my case; and I've had a lot of 400 one way mile drives, same route, same gas stations; I can confidently say that I saw 2.5-3 MPG lose with ethanol on-average (occasionally as high as 4.5 MPG loss) and usually depends on the % ethanol in that fill-up, something that we have no control over. Since my Stang isn't my DD, it gets the 89 octane ethanol-free fuel as well as my boat and the fuel cans for the yard equipment (tractor, chain saw, mower, weed whacker, leaf blower...).

And not knowing what the mix is that you're buying (could be 2% or 15%; you'll never know) makes all the fuel mileage comparisons that most people report as being suspect.

I can personally attest to this as all 4 near me are now 10% Ethanol.
