Gotta love it, brought home over 300 litres of ethanol free 92 Premium for the old cars to mix with my AV100LL.

I use about 250 gallons of ethanol free gasoline per year. And none of it goes in a car. Very few station have it here.

Why I fill my Lund before it goes on the trailer for home each Fall. Only place left we can get E free is a marina dock up North and a few reservations.
 
And I’m sure the charge accordingly. They do here.

The 3 actual marinas in the area are $3.00cdn and $3.50/litre, but I have a private source at a house boat rental. I pay cost at $2.17/litre. **** E91 at the local gas station was $2.42/litre.
 
We have a station near me that just redid their tanks, and now has ethanol free gas. I haven't bought any, don't even know the price, cause that particular station has been way overpriced for their 10% stuff since I moved here.
Dad, if you don't mind, can you mention what you paid, please?

Edit OOPS! Dad covered it in a post ^^^^, up there! (While I was typing, slowly, lol)

Yep. The last batch of Az 100LL I bought was about a half buck a gallon cheaper than California 91 10%.

It's in the post above. Less than the local gas station charges for E91. It's an I pat your back you pat mine deal. Local houseboat rental family that we both keep eyes on each others stuff and I fly him out if need be on break downs 40 miles down the lake vs boat.

$2.17cdn/litre this year, so $8.46/usgal = about $6.18US/US gallon.

I paid $2.74/l on this years 100LL fill of 500 gallons.

Thanks Dad, I was typing #8 as you posted #7. No worries.
I think the last az 91 I bought was around $3.75-4. California 91 varies from just under $5 at an off brand station, to $6 50 at the cal/az border. (Drive three miles in to AZ, SAVE $2.50/gallon.
 
I pay $5.49 for “Rec” fuel at the gas station at the corner by my house. They also have 110 at $10/gal. I mix em 50/50

I was told that ethanol free gasoline might be available in california from places like lawnmower/small engine shops, for off road use only. California does not MANDATE alcohol..... but it DOES mandate oxygenated levels, and alcohol is THE approved additive. So...... no "rec" gas, other than maybe $15/gal race gas, again for off road use only, available anywhere in california.
Yet I can buy some, ten miles into Arizona.
 
We have a station here in town that sells ethanol free. His is 91 octane. Paid exactly $4.00 a gallon last week for it.
 
I used to get some at CRC San Lorenzo/San Leandro, East Bay area,
could get up to 93, 98, 101 or 110 at the pump
no Calif. corn swill, but it wasn't cheap
the 114/117 oxygenated race gases, with 15% methanol
(not ethanol) was inside, but you need to drain your stuff after
so to not get the oxidation crap/rot rubber or aluminum, left by methanol,
but if tuned for it, get almost about a 10% boost in power
run cooler too
it was like $7 a gal. a couple (5 ?) years ago, it'd be $10 gal. + now
& I don't think they even sell at the pump now, if they are even still there
you had/have to bring jugs, inside & have them filled
or buy it by the barrel or can...
They were (& his CNC pumps) one of my big sponsors, for like 35 years

nothing like that up here
even at the marinas', it got the 'corn swill/ethanol crap'
except airports, & you gotta' know someone
(& I do) a flight teacher at Columbia & another big wig at CalFire guy too
they, father & son, live across the street from me
a pilot/instructor that has access, to put in jugs or a barrel,
they frown on it, but it happens

maybe down in Oakdale, 60 miles they may have it somewhere
