Default Pure Gas

I finally found some gas here in roanoke that is 100%, is $3.31 for regular. Filled up the Camaro with Super and did not even look at the price but the car seems to run a little better.

When I've been on road trips, it's hard to find any gas without ethanol added.
Here in Eastern Canada, Regular *87) and Mid grade (89) fuel have 10% ethanol added, but all our Hi Test is still 100 % gasoline.
Hopefully, they will continue this.
High Test is all I use in all my small engines and of course my car.
Ethanol is very hard on rubber parts if it sits.

Amazing... I have not seen real gas in years, I can't remember the last time. How much is the High Test up there nowadays?

I filled up my wifes SUV yesterday at Superstore & noticed their Hi test has 0% ethanol. Hadn't noticed that anywhere else.

At the drag strip when i use to go there was 100% gas there but something like 6 bucks a gallon 5 years ago!I'd love to find some out there in the real world around here rather then having to continue using this fraud that's been perpetrated on the American public for 30 years now..
