yep i finally found gasoline with no alcohol, in wichita ks. i think its the ONLY one in town. kansas state does not required posting that alcohol is in gasoline. but does limit it to 10%. but most stations post it. if you ask they say "can have as much as 10%"
 
thats where i found my station. do you think ill get better MPG? i would NOT mind a little more power.

Congrats. I'm jealous. Assuming no significant change in driving style, I predict 10% increased mileage.

10% would be great. i all ready gained 5% by changed the rear gear from 3.55 to 4.1, on a 2001 dakota v-6. dont for get i drive very HARD.
 
I took a motorcycle trip yesterday and went to a station on the list with no ethanol. Smelled the fuel in my tank and it had a faint stale smell like it was old or had lost volatiles. Mileage on that tank was down about 5 mpg, so I think it was old gas. My decision to buy at a higher volume station next fill may have been good.
 
HA, they do not even list Joisey on that site (shows you what chance/hope we have of EVER having alky-free fuel)!!

Went to the one in Issaquah WA today. Topped off with 8 gallons in a 19.5 gallon tank in my Colorado 3.5L I5. One thing I have noticed is that on the long, gradual 45 mph hill near my house, no more downshifting to maintain speed!!!

I am going to get a couple 5 gallon gas cans and take with me to keep at home for midweek top offs.

I paid $4.319/gal for 87 octane.

I'm sold.

More like %2 at the very most. If they were adding %10 water to all our gas, sure!

This summer I took a road trip, and in FL found a station that claimed 100% gas. I didnt notice the fuel economy benefit that I had anticipated.

Perhaps they were lying...

You must have miscalutated your mileage by mistake..The pumps do not lie in Fl..Epecially in Miami-Dade County.
 
what happened was the buttons are the left one is mid octane with alcohol, the middle was NO alcohol low octane, the right one was high octane with alcohol. and i THOUGHT the left one was low octane NO alcohol, but it wasnt.
