The station where I took the picture is in Coral Springs, FL, located about 15 mi. from the Port Everglades/Ft. Lauderdale fuel distribution hub for Marathon Gas. We have the largest boating community in the United States, hence the market for ethanol-free gas:
Marathon Oil Company is marketing a 90 octane unleaded non-ethanol gasoline as a recreational fuel for boats. This fuel is perfectly suited for use with 87 octane auto fuel STC's. In some locations it is one octane point higher, 91 octane. 91 octane is suitable for use with all auto fuel STC's.
Marathon ethanol free 90 or 91 octane may be available at the following bulk product terminals:
* Ft Lauderdale-Eisenhower
* Ft Lauderdale-Spangler
* River Rouge, MI
* Detroit, MI
* Romulus, MI
* Doraville, GA
* Powder Springs, GA
Pilots living near those areas of FL, MI or GA should contact the terminals to find out where this "Recreational Fuel" is being distributed since not all Marathon stations are carrying it.
