That's one heck of a list.[emoji106] Need to keep the corn to feed the cows and pigs. STEAK& BACON

A previous post by sandawilliams nails it, and is so true. When we lived in NM we had several stations that sold non ethanol fuel, all grades at the regular price. We definitely got better mileage from it especially in the winter months. Now I can only get it in "premium" and of course have to pay through the nose for it, but I buy it for the small engine stuff and it is well worth the extra cost. The small engine repair shops love ethanol fuel since it increases their business...

Only the geniuses in our government could come up with a gasoline "alternative" which pollutes more than gas, produces less energy per unit burned AND makes food prices rise.

This is what we got in Georgia right now, 87 ethanol free. Only one gas station that I found and there is always a line at the ethanol free gas pumps. Only 4 pumps out of 18 or 20 pumps have ethanol free gas.

Replace the "No Ethanol" with "Diesel" (and include a separate nozzle) and that's how most of our pumps in North Texas look...sure wish we had more no-corn options in the Metroplex!

Well I'm up about 2 mpg with Ethanol Free it appears, with town driving I have been averaging around 13mpg, I'm 15+ after burning about 3/4 of a tank. About $1 more per tank than mid grade, seems worth it to me. I suspect hwy gains would be at least as much, possibly more.

Got some this weekend for my lawn equipment.......... @3.99 a gallon.

Only a couple of places near me have it unless you head towards the lake.

I threw some in mine. I just went 87 because the 89 no eth is ridiculously priced. Not sure of any change yet but I haven't driven far enough to tell

Well my local station just lost half its pumps, including Ethanol Free - not sure if temporary, but may have to find another station.

I tried non ethanol gas in Ohio last year on a trip. I was getting 21 mpg on 89 filled up with 90 non ethanol and got 23.5 mpg that tank. All highway @ 70 with cruise on. Can't get that here in New Jersey. I get it when I go to Lake George New York and get 20 mpg towing a small boat.

There's a place not too far out of the way that sells this stuff. I just bought some for the generator (what with the storm coming). Thinking I may try this in the Ram once or twice. I recall trying in the Mazda, but it didn't make a difference.

You can get it in NJ, try https://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=NJ

I'm on my 2nd tank now. My computer mpg is nearly 17 with about 95% city driving. I was closer to 15 on average before

Well Eth-Free hasn't dropped as much as mixed gas... we've actually seen reg under $2 a gallon here and there, but ethanol-free running at $279 still, which is not more than premium .

I check the puregas website every now and again to see if there’s any new listings close by.
Unfortunately the closest station to me would require me burning a quarter tank on the drive to go fill up (and about 90min!)
It’s too bad because I’d be happy to run ethanol free exclusively in my vehicles.

I work in Iowa, home of lots of corn and a bunch of ethnol gas. I have found one station on my way to and from work that sells non ethnol 91. Since I have an I3 installed with a 91 tune, this matched up nicely. I avg 18 freeway, 16 city by calculations, not evic. This is 5.7 hemi, 4x4 crew with 6 speed and 3.55s on SRAs at 39 PSI.

I m happy with that for now. I drive 600 miles a week.

We have some ethanol free 87 octane here. $2.25 compared to $1.85 for regular 87...really hard to justify spending 20-25% more when you drive a 6.4L hemi 500 miles every week.

Do the math and see how it works out for you, I see 2-3 mph increase city with ethanol free, with a bit more for full highway. At the time the price difference was less than 10 cents a gallon so it was a no brainer - ~$3 more per fill-up for up to 85 more miles per tank.

But at 40 cents that's ~$11 and the math goes the wrong way .

after reading thru these posts I am starting to think some of you weren't buying gas in the pre-ethanol days or its been so long that you don't remember. ethanol gas is crappy. The more ethanol in the fuel the less mileage you get and the more it damages the motor in the long run. we don't have many ethanol free stations here where i live and it sucks.
