I was in my local John Deere/Stihl/Ariens dealership last week. In addition to TRUEFUEL, there are now about 7 other brands of NON-ETHANOL fuel that they had for sale. Every manufacturer (Stihl, Briggs & Stratton, etc.)now has their own brand of non ethanol fuel. This is in addition to the 5-10 fuel stabilizers that are available to add the unleaded fuel with the 10% Ethanol.

So, there is a whole industry that has grown from mandating Ethanol blended in our gasoline. I am in NH. There are very few local filling stations that offer non ethanol fuel. The only one close to my location is a company that sells 110 octane leaded racing fuel @ $9/gallon. It is still cheaper than buying Truefuel in 1 quart cans @ $6.95 each.

I buy only non-ethanol gas from a local station. It's a little more expensive but because pure ethanol only has 2/3 the energy content of pure gasoline it actually works out that the unadulterated gas lasts longer. Try looking at this webpage to find a gas station near you that sells pure gasolinePure gas

Been using the Truefuel and my small engine repairs have dropped to zero but on the most positive note I can think of in a very long time the local Murphy gas station (central Texas) just had a major overhaul. When they reopened I noticed 3 nozzle; diesel, one for the various grades of ethanol and....a non-ethanol nozzle. They seem committed as every pump is this way.

Octane is regular (89?)and price is that of premium ethanol.

A lot cheaper than the canned stuff!

Yeah, Only thing I use the Acetone fuels in are small engines like a chainsaw. You know, 2 cuts and it goes back on the shelf for a year.

I use “Ethanol Shield” for everything else. Works better as a stabilizer than anything else I’ve tried. Stabil is garbage.

also use their MIB. It saved a year old genset for me. All available at Home Defect.

Are you saying that in your area you can’t buy premium no-ethanol gasoline at the pump, or from a distributor?

All the stations in my town have either a separate pump or a separate pushbutton for non-ethanol fuel.

On the latter pumps, with the separate button, you will still get a hoseful of ethanol backwash, which the yard crews and woodcutters hate.

I have bought premium no-ethanol for my tanks here at home from a distributor for several years. It’s more expensive...but the last time I lucked out getting 600 gallons just before the price jumped.
