Non-Ethanol Stations near Los Angeles

Is there a list of these places? This Ethanol thing is starting to scare me since my car isn't leased and I want it to last a long time...

Both of you plan on keeping your car past 10 years or 120,000 miles?

I doubt you will find any stations that don't have ethanol.

Yes, my car isn't leased and most of my family keep their cars for long times so that's why I'm asking.

I just realized you have a 328, you have nothing to worry about. Its the 335's fuel pumps who really need to look out for the high ethanol content.
