Just an FYI for Portland -metro area people,
I found a gas station selling ethanol free gas in all grades at the pump

it is on Mclaghlin Blvd. (99E) on the west side (forgot the name) but has green paint trim. south of the Bomber but north of Fred Meyers price last week was 3.18 gal. 92 oct. non-ethanol

i wonder if this would be similar to 93 oct. w/ ethanol???

probably a marine application exemption.., but they have a HUGE sign at the station...

i should ask the department of measures and standards (they test and certify and test all fuels sold at gas stations to meet fed/ state requirements)

Here are the places that sell 93 RON unleaded or non-ethenol fuel if anyone is interested...

Makes no difference! My 335i was run on ethanol free German fuel
and my HPFP lasted 10000 miles.

Doesn't make a difference for the fuel pump, makes a difference for fuel economy. Ethanol has a lower energy content than gasoline.

also i did some more research
It is my understanding that there is a Federal regulation to have a given percentage of gasoline in the United States blended with ethanol. That does not mean that all gasoline must be blended, just a certain amount. And, frankly, I do not know what Federal agency enforces that nor the specifics of the regulation.

In the State of Oregon (and some other states), gasoline with a 91 or greater antiknock index (premium) may be sold without ethanol for use in any application. If it is less than 91 octane, then non-ethanol blended gasoline can only be used for a list of very specific applications. Otherwise, gasoline in Oregon is required by statute to contain 10% by volume ethanol. Even with the exemptions noted, the grand majority of gasoline in Oregon is a 10% ethanol blend.

And just for information, there is movement within the U.S. to increase the allowed percent of ethanol in gasoline from 10% by volume (which is the current maximum for gasoline) to 15% and perhaps even 20% by volume.

its funny they are diluting out gasoline we pay for with this crap but you know they wont lower the cost of the gas 10% in a way they are further ripping us off

Not sure what the mandate is, but ethanol free, 100% gas stations are a dime a dozen in Oklahoma.

update:
Olson Brothers Tire Factory
14115 SE McLoughlin Ave.
Oak Grove, OR

It's just south of the bomber a block past Courtney Avenue. The station is painted bright lime green so it's hard to miss.
