Farm Store Gas No Ethanol Brandon FL
I was driving down the street a few miles from home and noticed a banner on the Farm Store sign that said (No Ethanol in our gas, no water in you tank, and more MPG). So this weekend I was out and needed some gas and remembered the sign and headed that direction. I pulled in and walked up to the clerk to prepay for gas and asked about the Non-Ethanol product. A guy who I believe is the owner told me his store has not had Ethanol but just started to advertise this, I’m not sure how this works but no mention of Ethanol on the pump either. Every gas station around a sticker that says 10% or less but not this one.

Theoretically only supposed to be used for farm vehicles not used on public roads, I think.
Should have a colored dye in it. (Purple???) |

The Farm Store is a drive through convenient store not a farm supply store.

In Iowa the 89 octane is E10 and the other two are not and in Wisconsin some of the stations have E10 in 87 octane and advertise the 92 octane as safe for use with your "toys".

We have 3 stations around Charleston with E0.
Two are Exxon - E0 is only in 87 and 89 octane. One is a Shell - E0 is only in 93  .All three advertise it proudly. And my car enjoys the clean drink.

Man, you guys are lucky to get E0 gas. I'd gladly pay $10/gallon for it.

Not sure if I should mention this, but we get E0, 98 Octane at the pumps here in Oz. We do pay $1.40 per litre for it, mind you. (Not quite $10 per gallon, but close!)

In Wisconsin, the gas stations have two basic options for premium. Those that want to go the E0 route, sell 91 Octane. Those that would rather sell the higher 93 Octane, sell E15 (actually is somewhere < 15%).
Prices are about the same for either.

What is the result with 93 10% and 91 non ethanol...is there a better result with 93 E10? Can an older car use the ethanol or should I stick with 91? I want to use a new chip and wouldl ike to use a 93 octane map for ignition advance. Will 93 E10 be similar to 93?
