Another Ethanol Free Gas station in town!
The BP right down the street from me tore out their pumps and tanks to start fresh with their new line up that includes Amoco Ultimate 91 and 93 non oxygenated ethanol free with invigorate. Top tier fuel that's always been my favorite. I'm pumped! (pun intended) 
I've been getting 91 ethanol free at a Phillips 66 in town. There's another BP just outside of town with ethanol free.
Hoping enough Harleys and classic cars in the area will fuel here now to keep the supply fresh.
Should be reopened July 3rd.

There is a smartphone app that is great for finding non E. Pure Gas. Tells you the address and rating of gas wherever you are.
Truth be told. nobody gives a flip about what is available where the OP lives. Not being an ******* but....

There is a couple places around here that have E-free but they are few and far between.

My bad and yeah most could give a ****. I get that. Just hoping those that live around here will. Dubuque, IA.
I just learned of another one too. So we've actually got 4 all within a mile or 2. 3 with 91 and 93. But the Amoco Ultimate is definitely the best.
2 of these don't show up on any app I've ever seen, btw.
I know most could give a sh!+ what they run for fuel but I do. A lot of fuel related issues, especially clogged injectors, are caused by crap fuel and there's a lot of it out there. The new tanks here are a major bonus.
I delivered fuel for years and some of these stations have some real issues with their tanks. Then there's the ones that hardly anyone buys from and the fuel sits in those tanks for an awful long time. Not good.

90 percent of the gas stations around here are owned by one company and they carry E0, but its only 90 octane. The owners manual says to use 91 octane or better.
So, whats best, 90 octane E0 or 93 octane E10? Those are my choices here.

I use the 'E' free only in the winter when the bike will be sitting for a few months. ( I run it all the time in my '85 Porsche because the rubber seals in the fuel system were not designed for ethanol.) The 21 yo bike (170,000 plus miles,) has never balked on ethanol because it doesn't sit in the tank long during riding season.

I would run the E0 90 unless your engine pings. My guess would be you nor your bike will notice a difference. jmo

I won't be getting ethanol-free gas anytime soon. The nearest station to me that sells it is over 58 miles away. Fortunately I haven't had any problems with E10 + Seafoam or Startron.

When I had my Evo, thats what I did, but the M8 supposedly requires premium gas.
