Almost all gas sold in the US is E10 and some states are selling E15. It’s extremely difficult to find any ethanol free gas anywhere in the US.

Au contraire, fellow Freeper!

There are plenty of statins in OK and many other states that sell real gas. http://pure-gas.org/ This site depends on people to keep it updated, but it has a pretty good list of stations or places selling real gas.

“Almost all gas sold in the US is E10 and some states are selling E15. It’s extremely difficult to find any ethanol free gas anywhere in the US.”

Ethanol (E10) is so bad for small engines they started selling regular gas in cans in hardware stores for about $5 a quart!

“The market for these fuels is still so new that there’s no generally recognized name for them. But regardless of whether you call this stuff—boutique fuel, packaged fuel or canned gas—it’s an end run around the gas pump. Sold as straight unleaded gasoline or blended with oil for high-rpm two-cycle engines in chain saws, blowers and string trimmers, it’s expensive stuff, costing anywhere from $5 to $8 per quart. Despite the high price, customers might be willing to pony up if it means seeing an engine or its components run for several trouble-free years rather than seeing the engine destroyed or damaged by ethanol—after all, avoiding just one ruined engine might be worth the cost.”
