Thanks Oko, very informative map. Of course there are 2 stations neither of which are near me, but if I am nearby, I will remember them.

A couple of "lesser" known but good quality local chain stations offer Non-Ethanol gas, a couple within a few miles of my house and scattered in area's that I ride most often.

More stations now offering PURE gas, it was a lot harder to find a few years back.

If you're using it something you use almost the time it shouldn't hurt anything. But I wouldn't use it in any thing that sits for any amount of time...all the the stuff that's been mentioned. Luckily for me there's a locally owned chain of convenience stores that carry 91 octane non ethanol and there's one on just about every corner and intersection here upstate new york...believe me it's one of the few good things about the state lol

Jeezus just put fuel in your bike and ride. 10%-15% ain’t gonna hurt anything. If your worried just run some stabilizer in it every now and then

Ethanol is a farce. It is nothing but a response to the corn lobby. It has up to 20% less BTU than pure gas, So, it's use causes you to use more gas. Our late model HD can run 10%... but anything above that needs special mods.

The corn/ethanol industry has given enormous amounts of money to the swamp, in other words bribes, to pass legislation forcing the use of ethanol and kicking back tens of billions in subsidies to be shared among giant agra companies' executives. An enormous portion of US acreage for food production is now used for corn to produce ethanol. So as long as the swamp is there so will ethanol in out fuel.

Be thankful you are not in Brazil!

They use 25-27% ethanol in their gas.

I wonder what HD changes in the EFI tune on bikes sold in Brazil.
