shell non ethanol gas
stopped by shell this morning to put some gas in the 911. they offered non ethanol 90 octane for about 20 cents more than supreme 92 octane. i dont' drive this car very much or hard, so i usually only put about 4 gallons in each time then top it off with stabile marine formula to help. thoughts on staying with the non ethanol from shell or do the supreme/stabile route? also considering the 930 here.

Canadian Premium shell is ethanol free, I would say about 90% of us run it.

I've heard from others - don't sacrifice octane. Near me it's 89 vs 93 though.

The closest place to me for true gas is about an hour and a half. Came across it by accident when I was driving some back roads trying to avoid the 95 section between King's Dominion just south of Fredericksburg and Springfield. Interestingly enough, Pure in Winchester was not listed on the buyrealgas.com website when I looked it up after I got home. 89 octane is all they supply. Everything close to me else is close to the eastern shore in Maryland so it's just over two hours away. Not the most convenient when the gas light comes on.

Luckily, we have non-ethanol 90/93 close by and I have been running it exclusively in my car for the past 6+ yrs. My SW chip is programmed for 91. I'd use non-ethanol if you have access to it in these old cars.

This map is supposed to have all the non-ethanol stations.
No surprise there are none in our Moonbeam run central CA... ![]() Pure-Gas.org : Map of Ethanol-Free Gas Stations in the U.S. and Canada
