Post your latest E0 purchase

Just got 1.75 gallons in my gas can mixed with 6.4oz of Husqvarna XP+ for a 35:1 mix ratio. Using this mix in my three vintage/antique Lawn-Boys, Husqvarna trimmer, Hitachi leaf blower, and my new Predator mini tiller/cultivator. After this batch is gone, I’ll be going back to Amsoil Saber.

L8R,

Douglassville, PA this morning. Topped off the Prius V and brought home five gallons for the lawn toys. Leaf and garden cleanup are on the agenda this weekend. I'd be a slacker if less than two gallons of this didn't get used this weekend.

$3.699/gal. for 90 octane E0 at Sheetz in Charlottesville, VA on 17 November 2023. That's not much more than the going rate for 87 octane E10 at home. Added 12.5 gallons to the C-Max Energi. 1673.3 miles on 12.5 gallons of gas and some unknown number of KWh.

$3.99/gal. at Wawa in Hereford, PA. I've been keeping 2 x 20 liter Jerry Jugs on hand for the OPE and toppong up the Prius V. OPE season will soon be upon us here and we can easily ride out a two day power outage using just one of those jugs in the generator.

The only e10 available here is the canned fuel. About $26 for 110oz.... Not even a full gallon
Same here where I live in NJ. For my 2 cycle I use the canned fuel at the end of the season for storage. My pressure washer I'll use canned 4 cycle fuel before I store it. My generator and snow blower I just use E10 mixed with Stabil Marine blue and exercise them monthly, it's worked for a number of years so far. During the season my 2 cycle fuel is E10 with Stabil Marine blue mixed with Amsoil 2 cycle mix at ~70:1.

Is the 93 not ethanol free?


Strange that the 89 no ethanol is the same price as premium

Around here most premium is no ethanol and regular 87 no ethanol is about 30 cents more then E10 but less then premium
 
Is the 93 not ethanol free?
Around here everything contains 10% Ethanol unless specifically labeled otherwise. Some of the larger stations offer 88 octane E15.

There is a brand called Stewart's Shops in NY and VT that offers a 91 octane premium E0 at many locations, but it is clearly labled as being Ethanol free. I would never assume the 93 octane premium is Ethanol free given that Ethanol has a higher octane rating than gasoline.
 
Many are 90 or 91 w/o E and are non Top Tier :( . No problems as of yet . On occasion I'll add some TECHRON Complete Fuel System cleaner ( 1ounce per gallon ) to the non Top Tier .
 
91 Octane E0 for $3.99/gallon at Stewart's Shops in Bennington, VT on 22 December. It was dispensed via a shared hose so I most likely got a small amount of Ethanol from whatever was left over from the customer ahead of me.

I run E0 in my 2017 C-Max Energi because it typically goes 3-4 months between fills. The owners manual calls for 91 octane fuel so I don't mind the extra coin for the little amount of fuel that I use.
 
$3.759 today at Royal Farms in Douglassville for 90 Octane E0. That's down 34 cents since my last posting of $4.099 on 1 September 2024.

Earlier today I ran my Stihl 2-cycle leaf blower with a mix of E0 going back more than a year. No issues whatsoever. Similarly I ran a Harbor Freight earth auger on that same fuel last weekend. I think that using E0 is important for cabureted OPE but especially importamt for 2-cycle equipment.
 
Earlier today I stopped at Byrne Dairy and Deli in Horseheads, NY. From what I can tell this is a regional retailer selling Ethanol free gas. This is based upon seeing multiple locations on the Prure-Gas app.

In any event, what I found interesting about this place is that they offered three grades of gasoline labeled as follows:

Regular / 87 Octane / contains 10% Ethanol

Mid-Grade / 89 Octane / contains 5% Ethanol

Premium? / 90 Octane / contains NO Ethanol.

I rather like that lableling but have never seen that 5% Ethanol label before. I run E0 in two of my vehicles because they often go 2-4 months without visiting a gas station. The 2017 Prius V has demonstrated up to 10% better fuel ecconomy using E0.

Mid grade is regular and premium mixed in the pump on the spot. Stations don't have a separate tank for it. It sounds like this station only has two tanks underground, so they can't also offer the typical E10 93 that most people know as premium.

That makes perfect sense but then one of their two labels has to be misleading. I can see how you could blend E10 and E0 50:50 to achieve E5. Blending 87 and 90 octane at 50:50 isn't going to achieve 89 octane. Let's hope that all the folks buying their E5 / 89 are getting a really good deal with less Ethanol.
