The BP stations in Fredericksburg don't have the warning lables so I assume they are ethanol free. I would bet the richmond stations use the same gas.

Try a marina. The price of fuel will be higher but good chance its not ethanol mix

Marinas do not pay the same taxes (ie road taxes) that gas stations have added in the cost of their fuel. And some marinas are actually using the ethanol gas as well. |

We had a thread about this around 6 months ago. General consensus was that big name stations are ethanol. Southern States was rumored to sell E-free gas, but the ones I called said they didn't have it. The only lead I have is a small station on 220 near Roanoke (between 460 and 81). I plan to take a trailer and about 20 gas cans next time I head that way.

South West Va. Exit 35 Chilhowie has non-ethanol gas. That is where I get all of mine from. I have to take my Stihl weedeater tomorrow to have a clean and tune up done. The last 6 years of ethanol gas have about made it impossible to start. Spark plug, fuel filter and new air filter helped for about 1/2 of a season.

I have to correct my previous post. The BP in Fredericksburg is now labled as containing Ethanol. I used them a few months ago and I swear it was not labled. Maybe I missed it, but its there now. Sorry 'bout that.
I hate Ethanol. |

I get my gas from the no store type Q-Stops (billed monthly) and they say their gas is ethanol free. I was always under the impression that ethanol gas was primarily sold in places where emission checks during inspection are required. I always figured if the sign was not in place it was ethanol free. Please correct me if I am wrong as I wish to avoid ethanol if I can.

Not to horn in on y'alls HTF, but I found that the distributor of gasoline had added an ethanol free pump. It is $.30 to 50 more per gallon, but I like starting my small engines on the first pull and not replacing fuel lines each spring.
Well worth it. Locally, I get it from Strickland Oil, which is a company who trucks to the gas stations and fills their tanks. I am sure you have something similar up there. I believe I found them in the yellow pages under "fuel distributors". Good luck. |

Marinas do not pay the same taxes (ie road taxes) that gas stations have added in the cost of their fuel. And some marinas are actually using the ethanol gas as well. why would marinas pay any different taxes since the road tax is added onto the price of the fuel NOT paid for by the seller? also the gas stations havent added the tax, the state and feds have. the seller has no choice but to collect the tax. unless the marina specifically says "for off road use only" on its pump or next to its tank then there is no way to get in any kind of trouble. living in an area that has water on 3 sides i have NEVER seen regular gas pumps at any marina say "for off road use only". i ahve only ever seen that on diesel and of course that is died red. |

Suppliers get a tax break if they use E-10, so eeven if they dont have to they do. They do have to have the sticker on the pump.
