I read the same thing in American Iron magazine. I hope that we will still have a choice!
There are a few independent gas stations here in my area that still sells premium gas without any ethanol.

That's great if all you do is ride from your garage to the gas station. WTF do you do when you want to have a real ride. In my area there are ZERO stations selling gas without ethanol.

This is part of the revolution folks. Pick your side, 'cause one way or another you can't sit on the fence much longer.

I live in COMMIECHUSETTS and you can only get e10 now and I am sure they are going to force everyone into this junk fuel because as the commies know...the gov. knows what's best for you...not.

The idiocy of C.A.R.B. and how it drags down the rest of the country never ends.

Yea the only place that is near me that has 100% gas is my local Co-op and I fill up there most of the time unless I am on a longer ride. There are a few other gas stations near lakes too but I know from having a bass boat that even running that e-10 can be bad on outboards mostly because it will eat up some non ethanol rated fuel lines and ethanol will absorb water. I have seen it 1st hand and all of that crap gets in your fuel system and then into your engine.

push come to shove you can order fuel from VP racing fuel and mix. So far there is no E15 around the 4 state area where I live.
I'll start yelling "the sky is falling" when its the only thing at the pumps.

Thats too bad they're gouging because they figure the people with boats can afford it.The web site is designed to be updated by the users of it. I hope you can update for the station that is no longer there. I see there is not much there in SE MI or OH for that matter, but could be a valuable resource for taking trips. There is a iPhone app also
