Hey guys I found this list i think you might want to check out.
Not sure on how accurate or up-to-date it is but its worth checking out.

The list shows gas stations by State then by City that have ethanol free gas. AND it also lists the Octanes incase youre trying to find that 93 octane as recommended by the manufacturer.

Also has stations for all you Canadians out there!!

Here you go enjoy!

Very good list. Looks accurate too. Went to mine this morning. Standard premium is 3.46 a gallon. The ethenol-free is 3.75. 91 octane. I saved your list to my favorites.

I was very excited to see RI on that list then realized the only station listed was Hess and they don't even see ethanol free gas.

Lucky. I paid $4.50 this AM to fill up on 91 Octane with ethanol.

It's currently $4.30 here for the same, i'll need to fill up this weekend hoping it drops a little more before then lol...

Noob question here. What effect does the ethanol have of the quality of the gas?

It's an octane booster. Dry Ethanol is 113 AKI octane and it's cheaper than Toluene. It has a lower energy density so you lose a bit of MPG but it's cheaper so it's usually a wash.

Awesome, a grand total of 4 stations in NJ. Ethanol it is, then.

So basically it artificially "boosts" the octane rating while decreasing the fuel efficiency?

Useful for high performance vehicles, especially for turbocharged cars. The higher the octane, the less likely you will get knock (pre-detonation).

damn, not a single one on Long Island

It decreases the amount of energy in a gallon of fuel by a slight amount, since a gallon of ethanol contains less energy than a gallon of gasoline by about a third. You're at about 96-97% as much energy as a gallon of pure gas on E10. So, yes and no - it decreases the MPG efficiency very slightly, but does not decrease the thermal efficiency.

It's no more artificial than adding anything else to gasoline - there's a whole lot of stuff in gasoline other than heptane and octane.

I think I gotcha now... thanks!

I just put 93 Octane Ethanol free gas in my FR-S and the crickets went away almost immediately. For reference, my car was almost empty when I added fuel.
