Ethanol in Gasoline and 100% Gasoline


This station is 22 miles from my house.

 
Difference in prices
 
It seems that ethanol with ruin small engines. I did buy 100% gas for my lawnmower until the only station that carried it disappeared. I will have to ask a motorcycle shop or a rider at my regular gas station. It is around somewhere, just a new location. Motorcycles will be ruined also, or so I have been told.
 
Do cars really get better gas mileage?
 
Your turn
Have you turned, returned, to no-ethanol gasoline? Have you had a lawn machine ruined by ethanol? Or, do you have lots of stations from which to buy 100% gas? What do the motorcycle owners think about the damage from ethanol?

Gas Prices

in north Alabama
price per gallon
 
The price of gasoline is going down here. But, it is still not cheap. And, it has ethanol. The place where I ordinarily buy gas, sells it right now for $3.14/gal.
 
There are only two places to buy gasoline without ethanol. Both those places are too far away (20 miles away) to be feasible for regular purchase.
 
This gas I bought for $3.07 is not ethanol-free. Of course, this is an independent gas station and just happens to be about 19 miles from the house. I was on a secret shopper mission today, the only reason I was out and about.
 
To convert liters to gallons
one gallon = 3.87 liters or 1 gal ~ 3.8 liter
Just multiply price per liter x 3.8. (example 1.32 x 3.8)
Or, I will do it.
 
Your turn
Where do you live and what is the price of gasoline per gallon or liter? Is the price going up or down?
