What's the benefit of ethanol free gas?

I thought it was a cheap way to raise octane? Am I wrong? Just noticed that someone posted a map of ethanol free gas stations, wondering if there is a benefit to this?

 

ethanol mixtures also break up faster than non oxygenated gasoline.
and if you have pwc/boats/yard toys it eats out the fuel system components.

 

that list, btw, is really old. some of those places don't exist anymore, and some of them are under new ownership. there's even a list of a store that hasn't carried non-oxygenated gas in the last 10 years! hehe

 

hey david you never got back to me, you still want that head unit or no? maybe you didnt get my PM back.

thanks

Ben

 

I know of a few places that sell non-oxy gasoline.

 

Olsons in maple plain sells non oxy

 

Fleet Farm in Lakeville sells non-oxy premium.

 

Yeah but the nozzle won't fit in your suby, atleast it wouldn'tm fit in mine :roll:

 

If you guys want to criticize the list/maps, I encourage you to go ahead and put together a list on your own. I took the addresses from the Minnesota Street Rod Association and some other group that had some details. I guess it's my bad for not going to personally check each and every one of them.

I'd be more than happy to take down the information if people feel it's so inaccurate as to not be helpful.

 

There's a few that I went to that the store didn't have or the store was out of business.

 

So what type of gas is the best to use?

 

OK, I will PM a moderator tomorrow and have the thread removed.

 

not criticizing the thread, just saying that it's out-dated. that's all. fuji, where do you know that sells non oxy? that place on rice sells it for double regular $ because it's a full service station.
