You should check that Pure Gas link above and call around. The one where I found some was selling 90 octane. Close enough. (Supposed to be 91.)
They call it 'racing gas'

I live near a large lake, so most of the stations here sell no -ethanol fuel. I can’t tell any difference in performance in anything I’ve run it in, I do get a 2-3 mpg improvement on fuel economy and that takes a’couple of fill ups to materialize.
I agree the farm subsidy for turning corn into fuel is something we should be upset about. Both political parties support the program! Vote em all out! Term limits now!

Mirabito sells non-ethanol gas in my area, but it's only 90 octane, and doesn't play well with my M8 Softail.

Most of the subsidies go to rich farmers or corporations. Not the struggling family farm. Another government scam.

“Between 1995 and 2020, the top 10% of recipients received 78% of the $240.5 billion doled out, according to EWG. The top 1% received 26% of the payments. That averages out to $1.7 million per company.”

No, there are no gas station that offer it in my area. I had not tried any local marina, since I do not have water vessel. To those that can purchase it, more power to you.
