Would the ethanol free gas being sold be "new gas" or is it left over "old gas" made before they started wide scale adding ethanol?
(I'm mostly referring to the 91 to 93 octanes and not the race gas or airplane fuel.)

I guess another way of putting it is whether ethanol free gas is still being made in the standard octanes.

Thanks

I could be wrong, but it's my understanding that the ethanol is added when the tanker is loaded to bring the gas to your gas station. In other words, It is all pure gas until it is put in the tanker. Scott

There is ethanol free pump at the BP about 12 miles from my home. They have a disclaimer that it is not a BP endorsed product. The octaine is 90 and it is about $1/gal more expensive.

Non ethanol here in Minnesota is 92 octaine, I use it all the time, car, lawn mower, snow blower. Works great and doesn't break down.BILL.

Ethanol free gas is being made and refined daily at the refineries. The ethanol is added at/in the tank trunk prior to delivery. The ethanol typically adds about 2 octane points to the non-ethanol gas.

I can buy 93 octane ethanol free gas here in Louisiana just about every day…..but supply is somewhat restricted. Occasionally there are some refinery issues and the pumps are switched over to 91 octane ethanol free for a few weeks or so

This 91 ethanol free gas + the added ethanol is the 93 octane sold by many/most gas stations in the area.

Same criteria for the lower octane blends. There are many (too many) combinations.

Contrary to the beliefs of the doom and gloom club, E10 gas has been widely available for 30 years in much of the continent. The only thing 'new' is labels on the pumps telling you so.

I've been using it continuously since about 1996 and still don't understand the fuss.

Thanks for confirming the ethanol free gas is not left over old gas.

Since I had read here that the ethanol could affect some of the old seals and hoses, such as in the carburetor, then if ethanol free was available I would just as well use it instead.

For anyone else that may want ethanol free here's a collection for each state of E0 locations.
