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. |

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 - - Show quoted text - I wonder why that is? but I don't know what the Canadian equivelent to the EPA is. |
