    Website for listing all the Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada

    http://pure-gas.org/

    This is from the other forum you posted in, lol....

    (or someone with an identical question)

    Summary: one in central Ohio. The boat dock at Alum Creek Park Marina - 90 octane. Only one other station listed, and it's in Chardon OH.

    Lewis Center unbranded 90 Alum Creek State Park Marina 4000 Hollenback Rd map details

    nice :)

    thanks

    which forum, btw?

    We can spend all days discussing the virtues of material properties and chemistry behind the reagants plastic and its different polymers when reacted with alcohol. And I'd be all for it, but not here please

    anybody care to tell me of a normal gas selling pump company that carries unleaded E0 gas?

    Stoich of 100% Gas 14.7

    Stoich of 10% Ethanol 14.1

    Stoich of E85 9.65

    The higher the stoich of the fuel being used the better the mileage.

    exactly

    now anybody know of any stations?

    there has to be ONE in columbus at least

    usually gas station owners can tell you.

    Ohio is one of 15 states that are not required to slap a sticker on the pumps saying the ethanol content

    That's why some of the Ford Taurus's that had flex fuel on them had a distance to empty display in them, right in the instrument cluster. Isn't E85 something like 70-80% as much power as fuel? Once you get it down to the 10% (how accurate do you think this is?) in most pump gas, how much of a drop is it really? I think that's what the OP is looking for as well.

    it s enough for me to worry about my engine health (in my car more than my bike) moreso than the actual mileage

    especially since I wind my engine up pretty hard

    agreed,

    my main reason was to find out how much better gas mileage I get with E0 (100% gas) as opposed to the commonplace E10 (90%gas) sold everywhere..... even if it might be more expensive comparatively, would it actually turn out to be cheaper?

    I plan to check data with my duc and my bimmer to see the differences because 100% gas is also much better at returning mileage than ethanol-ladden gas....because ethanol has less energy density, it takes more amount ethanol to create the same amount of energy a given amount of gas creates

    ethanol also reduces the life of motors due to its corrosive nature in eating fuel system rubber lines, seals and engine cylinder walls and victimizing catalytic converters..........

    It pisses me now that farmers want the government to mandate E15 (85%gas) just so they can create more demand for their crops and get more money without considering 2 things

    1) less gas mileage which ultimately results in higher running costs due to having to buy more gas

    2) even more reduced engine health

    I hope the EPA blocks that decision
