E10 seems to be the only gas they sell in SW Florida and that has been
true for as long as I can remember. At least that is what the stickers
on the pumps say.


You can buy ethanol free gas at the Ft Myers muni marina or get it
delivered to your house by a fuel dealer, typically a 50 to 100 gallon
minimum.

That's a recent article based on old data.


While it doesn't have exactly the same shelf life has non-ethanol gas,
it hasn't produced the storage problems in a majority of situation
that were forecast.


Now, in areas where there are cold temperature extremes in the winter,
yeah - it's very possible that you will get phase seperation in
ethanol blends *due to significant warming and cooling cycles. It seem
to be a particular problem in the border states with Canada.


Then again, I havne't heard a lot of horror stories out of Canada
about it.


They don't sell it in this province...I don't know about out west.- Hide quoted text -

I wonder why that is? but I don't know what the Canadian equivelent to
the EPA is.
