Ethanol free gas?

I just noticed that the Southern States (Farmers Coop) in our town has a sign saying "We sell ethanol free gasoline". I think it's 93 octane. Would it be better to use this than the 15% Ethanol at most other stations?

Thanks!

I have had 5 C5's and 2 C6's. I usually run the 10% Ethanol that gives the 89 rating. I have never had any known problems. When I dont run the 89 Ethanol I run Premium. Its uually no higher than 91 and if I remember correctly it also has 10% Ethanol.

Where can you get ethanol-free gas? I thought it was mandated now.

Do a Google search for Southern States, I know they have one in Harrisburg, PA. I suspect since they are a chain they probably all sell the ethanol free gas. (maybe)?

not one listed in PA, New Jersey and one in Ohio. A few in Maryland. I guess I live with it and buy Seafoam. It's a damn conspiracy!
