Fuel with ethanol
Hi. I would like to know if there is any fuel company that does not have ethanol in it? Thanks

Depends on what region of the country you live in.

Re: Fuel with ethanol
Here is a web site that tells you where to buy ethanol free gas in the U.S. and Canada: http://pure-gas.org/

Re: Fuel with ethanol
Here in Arizona we use to endure the ethanol fuel durning the winter months, Nov thru March. My question is: are they now forcing use to use ethanol fuel year round ?

Re: Fuel with ethanol
Ethenol pretty much every where now, tough to find easy solution without going out of the way. I think the really bad stuff is the E15, ridicules that the EPA approves it as most car manufacturers will not honor the engine warranty if used and it damages your engine.

Re: Fuel with ethanol
Avgas also contains lead.
It is also at least 100 octane, I think. |

The downside of buying the ethanol free gas is that it's is usually not "Top Tier Gas"*, at least in my area, for what that's worth. So, there's a trade-off. Now that I have my back up electric fuel pump I don't really need to worry about ethanol that mostly just causes vapor lock. *Top Tier Gas: http://www.toptiergas.com/

Re: Fuel with ethanol
FBOs cannot lawfully sell avgas to car guys because there's no "road-use" taxes paid at time of purchase, FWIW. It's extremely rare to find anything other than 100LL avgas anywhere today. DD

Re: Fuel with ethanol
Here in Michigan we get our leaded gas from Lanes Automotive, and it's only $7.89 per gallon for 110 octane. 112 octane is another dollar per gallon.

Re: Fuel with ethanol
In Northern Michigan we have recreational fuel and it has no ethanol in it at all. I'm 60 miles from the Mackinaw Bridge. My car runs great !

Re: Fuel with ethanol
For any considering using leaded gas on public roads, you should know that "the Clean Air Act of January 1, 1996 banned the sale of leaded fuel for use in on-road vehicles. Possession and use of leaded gasoline in a regular on-road vehicle now carries a maximum $10,000 fine in the United States. However, fuel containing lead may continue to be sold for off-road uses, including aircraft, racing cars, farm equipment, and marine engines." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiknock_agent

Re: Fuel with ethanol
After going to the Top Tier website and listening to their explanation of what Top Tier is it seems to me that it is geared toward electronic fuel injected cars. Am I right or wrong on this?

Re: Fuel with ethanol
Like it or not, your going to have to live with ethanol because it is the law.
It's about time to stop complaining and do what is necessary for your cars to run on it. We've had ethanol gas here in NJ for years. I have four old cars (some repowered) and have run on ethanol gas for all that time and cannot find any problems with my cars because of it. I made sure all related items were ethanol proof. Time to bite the bullet and get on with life. |

Thanks Paul. That wasn't helpful to the poster's question. Shell sells ethanol-free fuel in my area. Maybe yours too. Lonnie |
