I buy mine from Northern Lights... they have a store in Corning. That's still a ways from Sac.

Thanks for the info.

fuel is blended differently in every state. Wisconsin changes the blend 4 times a year due to cold/hot weather.

Ours is E10, we can let it sit for about 3 weeks without an additive. Most octane boosters have been shown not to do a darn thing.

I think ethanol fuel may also raise hell with some gasket materials (rubber??) that do ok when exposed to straight gasoline, it may cause problems with rubber/silicone(?) diaphragm materials used in some fuel pumps. I know I had a 4 stroke Yamaha outboard where the fuel pump diaphragm went bad and I suspected ethanol fuel may have weakened the material. Lots of guys I know will not use ethanol fuel in the older Yamaha 4 strokes.

Pure-gas.org these are the listed stations that sell ethanol free gas in California. Here in NC we often have more than that amount in one city...
