Missouri law allows the dealers to sell 100% gasoline if the wholesale cost of the gasoline is cheaper then the ethanol, otherwise it must contain 10% ethanol, execpt for premium. Stations can sell premium without ethanol no matter what the wholesale cost is. I purchase 91 octane non ethanol from Rapid Roberts Conoco here in Springfield(one station on east Republic road has 93 octane ethanol free) for my supercharged Mercedes and both my old Vettes. I purchase 94 octane without ethanol for my 09 Z06 from Eagle One Phillips 66 stations on east Battlefield rd(just west of National) and west Republic road(just east of the West Bypass). Also Signal stations have ethanol free premium as well as a station on south Glenstone, (not a brand station). There may be other stations, but these are the ones I use.

Missouri doesn't require the gas stations to mark their pumps so you have to ask as to whether they sell ethanol free premium.

I don't know what the law is concerning diesel fuel.
