Methyl Hydrate is around $8 dollars a gallon at a big box store, not really an issue.

Most marinas sell ethanol free so that shouldn't be much of a problem. Where I live in Florida we have ethanol free all over the place (because it's a boating community) but they are all like 87 octane which wouldn't work well in the Twins.

If anything I would go the opposite direction and get E85. Hahaha.
Ours is usually 90 in SWFL, a can of boostane(professional, 16oz) will bump you up to 97 or 98ish.
