Not sure if this has been posted before. Just found a site that lists stations that sell ethanol-free gas: pure-gas.org

There are more stations selling crapanol-free gas out there than one might have thought.

We had one station here in my local area but according to him on Sept.1, Federal regs went in to effect and he can no longer sell it.

I have been told by others that some marinas can still get it and sell it but I don't know this to be factual.

I am bummed about this because my 91 Honda accord wagon got 4 MPG better with real gas and it was just 5 cents more at the pump.

Price of ethanol free gas bums me out - just paid $3.35 in Cambridge Md for 87 octane, while 10% ethanol is $2.89. I suspect it should have a price premium attached, but that seems excessive. I guess they will charge what we're willing to pay...

I live right at the borders of NY, NJ and PA and can be in all three states in a matter of minutes. Although I can't buy Non Ethanol fuel any more I do see price fluctuations worse than what you describe. In NJ 87 octane is $2.70 and in NY the same brand is $3.40. We have to go to one state for fuel and another for groceries and yet another for clothing but we do have that ability due to geographic location.
