Yes! Some gas stations are starting to carry PURE GASOLINE with NO ethanol. Not 10% ethanol, PURE GAS. Midway Kwik Stop in Castle Hayne, NC is a great example. Most of the ethanol-free stations are located near the coast. Boaters are the main reason, they have complained enough, and store owners are listening.

check with pure-gas.com there are about 2500 stations across US and Canada that sell ethanol free gas
Pure ethanol, CH3CH2OH, is an pure organic compound and not a mixture
Pure ethanol is odorless.
ethanol
A) They are [CH3-CHOH] identical; and B) the distillation process is what transforms ethanol into eventually a pure form.
Ethanol is a pure substance, but it is rare to encounter it pure. Laboratory alcohol usually contains small amounts of water and methanol. Alcoholic drinks contain large quantities of water, as well as flavourings.
The Red Robin and the Blue Jay stations on Woodruff Rd. in Greenville SC both sell unblended gas ( no ethanol )........ They call it pure gas.......
No, since the ethanol is pure it is a base and will make the alluminium turn all black and rusty. Hope this helped :-)
Pure ethanol is slightly basic- about 7.9 However, a solution of ethanol and water is about 7,0- neutral
At this time all gas stations sell gas with ethanol in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New York. The last small independent stations that sold 100% pure gasoline stopped selling it about November 15, 2010. However some gas station are charging .10, .15 and even .25 cents more for gas that they say does not contain ethanol -----BUT IT DOES. THE NON ETHANOL THAT WAS IN THEIR TANKS RAN OUT WEEKS AGO AND THEY UP THE PRICE AND SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE IT. I BOUGHT A OFFICIAL TEST KIT AND IT SHOW THEIR GAS DOES HAVE ETHANOL IN IT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE CHARGING MORE AND SAYING IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ETHANOL. BE CAREFUL.
