Many stations in WI have this offering. Bought Shell no corn V Power today for an 85 cent upcharge. Gonna store the car in a week or two and don't want ethanol in the tank.

Haven't seen non-ethanol premium around here. Car (C5) runs just fine with the 10% ethanol in the tank.

Yep a local station here has it, and it is 91 also. Weird thing is they also offer 93 octane but with ethanol 
Marinas also have non-ethanol but they are more expensive and a PITA vs just pulling into a normal gas station.

I filled my Z06 up with 93 octane ethanol free gasoline at $2.99/gal at Rapid Robert's Conoco(Top Tier gas) here in Springfield, MO, yesterday. I also fill my supercharged Mercedes with 91 octane ethanol free gasoline at another Rapid Robert's Conoco(Mercedes doesn't run any better on 93 than it does on 91, unlike the Z06), so I save around $.30/gal using 91.
We have around eighteen stations in town that sell ethanol free premium, but I'm concerned about how long we will be able to get the 93 octane ethanol free gas. The stations that sell 91 ethanol free can get it locally at the pipeline terminal that is just outside of town, but the 93 ethanol free has to be trucked in from Arkansas, thus the higher price vs the 91, plus it's getting more difficult to get as most stations in Arkansas sell 93 octane with 10% ethanol.

There are four stations( non are Top tier)selling ethanol free 91 octane gas in Columbia, MO, and one selling ethanol free 91 in Fulton, MO(Valero which is a Top Tier gas).
There are four stations selling ethanol free in Osage Beach, MO(two are 91 octane and two are 93 octane). The 93 octane ethanol free locations are Rapid Robert's Conoco (Top Tier).
There are two stations in Rolla, MO selling 91 octane ethanol free(Non Top Tier) gas and two stations in Sedalia, MO selling ethanol free gas, one is a non Top tier station selling 91 octane and the other is a Sinclair(Top Tier) selling 92 octane ethanol free gas.
Not only can you get ethanol free premium in your town, you can get it in almost any direction you take out of Jeff City.

Shell sells ethanol free 92 octane in Cherokee, IA, and 93 octane ethanol free in Waterloo, IA and West Union, IA
But, the vast majority of ethanol free premium sold in IA is 91 octane, all brands. 201 locations in the state.
If you know of other locations for ethanol free 93 octane in Iowa, then you should post them at pure-gas.org.

WaWa here around central Florida has 87 octane no ethanol good stuff. I use that in all my lawn equipment so it does not eat up the plastic and I don't have to replace the equipment every few years. No premium offered.
I am just thankful that Al Gore-ahole is not running for prez. I guess he is making too much $ from his Carbon Credit racket.

Have both an Exxon and a BP with in 13 miles of home that have 93 pure gas
They also have 89 pure gas. They also have the stuff with Ethanol in it.
Use pure 89 for lawn equipment and small engines. Pure gas 93 for the Stingray most the time, unless there is none where I am.
