I found a phone App called Pure Gas. It was located in Googles playstore on my Android. I downloaded it and it works like Mapquest or Google maps. Reading your GPS while you plug in a mileage limit it brings up Gas Stations that sell Ethanol free gas.
I dont know how many people who own off road gas motored equipment bother to pay the extra amount for ethanol free gas for their equipment, but here it is. The phone App was very accurate with locations and listings of known gas suppliers that I know sell ethanol free fuels. Thought maybe some other people may want to take a look. Its free information.
 
I have that app on my iPhone but unfortunately the closest one is 25 miles from me. Thanks for the info ;)
 
As fate would have it, my sons' baseball game is away today and its about 3-4 miles from the ethanol free station! I'm pretty excited, I have to empty all the 5 gallon cans I have and I'll fill the 2 cycle can also. Giddy-up! My question is, I always run Sunoco 93 in my saws. With ethanol free can I step down to mid-grade or should I stay with premium, which might be 92 vs 89? I'll be filling my truck and a few cans also so I'd like to fill everything in 1 shot with the same stuff, probably midgrade 89
 
We have a couple stations locally that sell E-free gas. Premium only though. It is all I run in my small engines. Boat, sled, wheeler, lawn tractor, saw, trimmer, ice auger..... Some of these things don't get used for months and months. Not comfortable leaving E-gas in them.

As my luck runs, I got there at 4:45 after my sons game and the station had closed at 4 :( Oh well

A farm co-op station here now has e-free, 90 or 91, I can't remember, and it also contains a stabilizer.
 
I got the app...bit its not all inclusive. Plenty of station around that I dont think are on there.
 
Really? Maybe I should just google non-ethanol stations near me I guess. That's a shame it's not all inclusive
 
Here in Wisconsin all premium gas is non ethanol and there's some stations that sell 87 octane regular unleaded without ethanol. I didn't realize it was that hard to find in some areas.
 
Unfortunately, it is hard to come by around here. I'm about 45 min West of Philly in the 'burbs

A gas station that closes at 4 in the afternoon? Even here in lowly Winter WI, population 300 something the station is open late. And you can buy gas when they're closed.
 
One opened up a couple blocks from me. The outboard ad2 cycle get special gas. Te vehicles and larger boat don't get special treatment.
