I filled up my car at a 76 station just East of I5 on the Sunset Highway in Bellingham today. They have banners advertising Ethanol free gas. I wonder if other 76 stations sell it.

We need one reasonably accessible in Skagit County.
I am very concerned about those of us that don't have modern outboards, loosing them to the negative effects of all that ethanol. That's just not acceptable!
Here is part of the reason; recent MSRPs:
2012 Mercury4-STROKE Series 75ELPT EFI Base Price: $8,965
2012 Mercury4-STROKE Series 40ELPT EFI Base Price: $6,250
2011 Honda BF75DKLRT Base Price: $10,707
2011 Honda BF40DKLRT Base Price: $8,091
Therefore if we start looking for locations to fuel up, even though the stuff probably costs as much as AVGAS, the cost of buying new replacement engines will pay for a lot of gas.Dave

There's a 76 in Auburn that has ethanol free gas, leaded regular, and 100 octane. They do a lot of business with cars headed out to S.I.R. or Pacific Raceways as they call it now. :Bigdriving1::Bigdriving1::Bigdriving1:Lovely La Rue and the Kingston Kid

Seems like they are far more common than one would think!
They have multiple octane ratings, so you don't have buy just premium!
