Question to Hampton Roads residents
Where if anywhere, is it possible to get alcohol free gasoline?

Ethanol free gas can be had at most marinas.
And it should be less expensive due to there not being a road tax on it, but it actually ends up being more expensive because they price just gets jacked up.

Alright, thanks guys.
I'll try some of toughs places, but i really don't know if its worth it. my guess is that all the alcohol is messing up all of these fuel pumps, but thats just my guess. |

if your talking about your car it's highly unlikely.
Ethanol just has the extreme disadvantage of being incredibly corrosive. Hence cars made before the ethanol change will experience cracking fuel and rubber lines down the road.

Yeah the ethanol isn't bad for cars, as long as you don't let it sit for a while. If it sits, it turns to gelatin and gets all goopy.
That's why they sell ethanol free gas at marinas. Boats tend to sit for a longer time, and I think the boat engines are actually more sensitive too. Go fill up at the docks.
