The manual for my Tohatsu 2-stroke outboard says not to use gasoline
that has more than 10% ethanol or 5% methanol or all sorts of bad
things will happen.

Does anyone know of a brand of gasoline in CA that doesn't have
alcohol?

Most brands. MTBE is the additive of choice currently. Union 76 does
sell gas with 10% ethanol.

OK, I think you're right and I'm working on next year's
problem....MTBE has been outlawed due to environmental concerns and
lobbying by the gasahol lobby. Alcohols should be phased in soon.
Maybe marine fuel docks can keep the alcohol-free MTBE free gas, I
hope.

IIRC some aviation gas is still leaded so it might happen if everybody
lobbies their congressman, etc., hard enough.
