    Image Unavailable, Please Login Was searching for non ethanol gas and found this website. https://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=CA

    When I got to the Shell station that I had picked this is what I found. I have to admit that I have never seen this type of fuel available at a regular gas station before. Originally I was looking for gas that, over time, wouldn’t damage my fuel lines, but this is an added bonus!

    The 76 near the house has VP racing fuel at the pump. No idea on price.... $6.45 for reg though. I'll have to check next time I'm there... Kinda curious now.

    Unless your car is detonating due to aggressive timing, you won't see a benefit from 100 octane, and in some ways it will be worse.

    If you want to use it in a street car with catalytic converter(s), you should also confirm/deny if it contains Tetraethyllead (TEL).

    My primary goal was to locate non ethanol fuel. I already had a half a tank of gas in the car, however, after I filled up with the 100 octane fuel there was a noticeable increase in power.

    "after I filled up with the 100 octane fuel there was a noticeable increase in power."

    You are being sarcastic, right?

    You can find ethanol free gasoline in those areas that sell conventional fuel. In the mandated boutique fuel zones, you will have to purchase "race fuel" by the drum.
    See attached.

    I am fortunate enough that the closest station to me sells 91 ethanol free gas.

    The only problem with the pure-gas web page is that it had been diluted over the last few years with all the places that sell ethanol free gas in the small cans for use in lawn maintenance equipment. The link in the OP seems to list only pump dispensers, all the home depot and lowes listings are now gone. Something must have changed for the better.

    I am aware of Buc-ees but we don’t have any close. QT I understand also sells non ethanol gas. Those are everywhere.

    I have never seen non-ethanol at a QT. This would be amazing though. However, it appears the new Wally's in Fenton, MO (STL) has 91 Ethanol Free!
