Of course there are. I have two stations that advertise non-ethanol gas within 5 miles of me.

do a search for recreational fuel in your area.. around here, it's usually marina's that have it..

on my jetskii's, I can get about 5mph faster on rec fuel.. in the truck i can get at least 2mpg better over a tank, and have more pep.

The funny thing is, there are none near me when I'm up at the farm in Georgia, BUT EVERY station has "off-road" diesel, which is a LOT cheaper than regular diesel. (of course the newer diesel trucks with all the emissions crap will supposedly die an ugly death from it, I know guys who "illegally" run it every day in the older diesel engines).

In Florida, I can find a few gas dealers with non-ethanol gas in just about every town, but you never see "off-road" diesel...

Hey Guys, I do ALL those MPG improvement things; wish my wife would.
I recently dropped to 87 octane at about the 25,000 mile point and see no diff.
I suspected the $69 chip was a dud.......I know of only one non-ethanol gas store in N GA.
My MPG readout is a liar, I get about one or more less than it says, and I constantly check it.
I average about 15.5-16.5 with best tank to date of 17.4 and that was on a trip. The indicator was telling me 19+. But it is about one MPG better than my 2007 Hemi was. Both had opened exhaust and free flowing air filter and the killer, 3.92 drive ratio with 4X4.......Thanks for all the input....WJA
