    All you guys who can't get non ethanol fuel....be envious. I just picked this station cause I was near it. I can also get non E 91 and 93 at various other places. I have more to choose from than other places in the state but I work around a big lake so there are stations and marinas all over with it.

    Thats not my purchase I only got 6 gallons. I got 1.5 for the saw and 4.5 for the ATV and mower. IMG_20150619_140708_607.jpg

    Nothing like that around my parts. Is the non E fuel for the boats?

    Non E for whatever you want. But this station caters to boats and bass fisherman. Now this is a drive up in your car gas station, not a marina.

    That's a big difference for it. A couple places is only $.10 between them in VA.

    Fuel is on average $0.10-0.20 per gallon cheaper across the board.

    I run non ethanol in my 2007 GMC, and average 60 miles per tank more than E10 fuel. I pay about $6 more per fill up, but get the economy of 4 more gallons of E10(almost $12).
    We have two stations here in our little town that sell Non Ethanol. One has Clear 88, and the other has Clear 88 and 100.

    My parents live up near Erie which is about 280 miles from me and e free 92 is everywhere and it's only a few cents more - maybe 10 or 15 more than the ethanol gas. You can't find it near me unless you want racing fuel. We visit up there all the time so I fill my 5 gallon mix can a few times per year and dump it in a smaller one when I go cut.

    It's weird how some places have it, some don't, some really charge for it, and some are almost the same price wise. I'm just glad I can get it pretty easily.

    If it was only 0.10 a gallon I wouldnt ever buy E fuel.

    In Va it's not much difference. tn is about $.20-.30 usually. The only gas I buy is for saws and OPE so I don't pay much attention to the price of it.

    clemsonfor I have traveled through SC many times, and you always beat GA for gas prices, and we are pretty low compared to the rest of the country.

    Thats probably right..we (taxpayers ) pay them to put ethanol in...should just skip the middle man and pay the farmers direct.

    Is that 100LL though? I wouldnt want to use leaded fuel where I am standing around in a cloud of exhaust.
