Ethanol free
This link shows stations that have been submitted by users that offer ethanol free. It is how I found a local station.

shell but when i got my car tuned they said that my gas was bad. so they added some higher octane and my car performed alot better (i only use 93, and they thought i was using 87)so now i will never buy shell gas again, and the tuner recommended it to me.
True, additives help to clean your engine, but what the companies don t tell you is that all gas has them. Since 1994 the government has required that detergents be added to all gasoline to help prevent fuel injectors from clogging. State and local regulators keep a close watch to make sure those standards are met; a 2005 study indicated that Florida inspectors checked 45,000 samples to ensure the state s gas supply was up to snuff, and 99 percent of the time it was. There s little difference between brand-name gas and any other, says AAA spokesperson Geoff Sundstrom.
What s more, your local Chevron station may sell gas refined by Shell or Exxon Mobil. Suppliers share pipelines, so they all use the same fuel. And the difference between the most expensive brand-name gas and the lowliest gallon of no-brand fuel? Often just a quart of detergent added to an 8,000-gallon tanker truck.

No need to pay more at Chevron or shell for exact same **** I'm getting at Costco, especially when it comes to 91 octane.
It's not the exact same, but it's close enough for most people.

Had run nothing but 93 from Raceway and Citgo type stations due to convience. Tried the 91 Eth free and saw about 2-2.5 MPG improvment. Have just started a run with Shell 93 and if the short 7 mile run is indicative,,, WOW,, felt immediate response difference and MPG was great, but short run and 45-50 Spd limit. So way early but I saw much better MPG tonight on the same ride home from stations literally across the street. Started a spreadsheet last month and will post when enough data. Keep in mind my "daily drive" is 160 miles so def not typical.
