How far will you go to find Ethanol-Free gas? 5, 10, 20 miles, or all the way to Alaska?

The hunt is on! Maybe a gas station supplying ethanol-free fuel is right around the corner.

Find the closest one near you!

Pure-Gas.org has over 7,000 locations listed identifying gas stations that sell pure, ethanol-free fuel (U.S. and Canada). If you’re willing to pay more for pure gas that will save your power equipment and boats from the effects of ethanol, the next step is to find out if a station close to you actually sells it.

According to Pure-gas.org, most fuel sold in Alaska does not contain ethanol. But not many people will head north to trade in their riding mower for a snowmobile, just to avoid using ethanol gas.

Here’s some more advice on finding ethanol-free gas:

• Access to ethanol-free gas relies on the availability from the refineries and distributors throughout the country. They should be able to tell you where to find a station.
• Some states do not require a “10% Ethanol” label to be placed on their pumps.
• Hardware and power equipment stores often carry pre-mixed ethanol-free gas in quarts for 2-cycle handheld equipment.
• If you want to get scientific, there are fuel test kits that can determine if your gas contains ethanol (alcohol).
