There is a gas station near me that sells 89 non ethanol but if I drive to Mississippi about 10 miles away I can get 93 non ethanol gas

Hopefully the ethanol farce will eventually go away...  I wouldn't hold my breath though.

Now that I think about it, I do believe there are some fuel companies that sell lower octane non ethanol. I remember a farmer I worked for always ran his farm gas in his Harley 88 cube. Let it sit all winter always with fuel in the carb, never had gummed up issues.

pure-gas.org shows 19 locations where ethanol free gas is available in California. Perhaps in a neighborhood near you.

well....at least 10% ethanol is better than the e85 crap I was forced to buy in Chicago
i think based on all this info that I will stick with 93, its only a few pennys
