Hello Fellow Texans,
(A) Was Curious if anyplace in Central Texas sells Premium / High Octane 91-93 unleaded WITHOUT Ethanol? I've seen Regular 87 Unleaded without Ethanol at some WalMart & Buck'ees, but was curious if anyone knew a source for No Ethanol gasoline at the higher octane rating? (B) Is it possible to purchase AvGas in a jerry can? I know AvGas has some lead, but going into a motorcycle so there is no Cat Converter or smog stuff. Want to set aside a few Jerry Cans for fuel for my Motorcycle and avoiding Ethanol is (A) better for the bike, and (B) stores better too. Any helpful information is certainly appreciated!

There's a few stations and shops with sunoco fuel. You probably want 260 GTX (93 octane, no lead, no ethanol). Don't expect it to be super cheap though.

Looks like a few QTs and a Murphy have it. I’m in the Dallas area and there’s a 7/11 and a couple of the Buc-ee’s has it too.

Still wake up sobbing sometimes. Paladin eta: our local Family Power Sports sells motorcycle racing fuel in 5 gallon cans. |

I went to it for outdoor power equipment several years ago. Had a customer that was a Stihl distributor and they told me many of the engine problems coming in was due to ethanol in the gas. I never treated my equipment well as I was no fan of landscaping and yard work as some are. Just not that guy. Always struggled getting stuff running first of the season. Started using the E free fuel and that went away. Now the only small engine I have is a generator that is fed only E0. It’s only a standby for the house and I run it 10-15 minutes each month. Starts up first pull each time. Maybe it’s the monthly running ritual but I’m not going back to the E10. YMMV.

Little River Dragway up in Holland has several grades and choices for fuel up to 117 octane available. It ain't cheap, and Holland is a bit of a drive, but they've got it.
Some Buck-ee's have 92 octane ethanol free, if 92 is good enough. |

If you go the Avgas route, most small municipal airports will have it and sell it to you . The price was not bad, but that was 3 years ago. I used to get it for one of my PWC's. Not a big hassle either. They would let me drive in the gate and right up to the trucks to fill my jugs.

A lot of boat marinas also sell it.
Ethanol in a high-moisture environment (like a boat) is bad news. |

It's been a couple years, not sure if they still have it.
I bought Ethanol-free premium at a gas station in Jonestown. Jonestown is a SMALL town between Cedar Park and Lago Vista.... northwest of Austin |

I live in NW Austin/Cedar Park and I had to drive to Buccee's in Bastrop to fill up my jerry cans with non-ethanol fuel. I don't remember their highest octane level.

The Murphy gas stations at these Walmarts - - 1431 and Parmer - 620 and 183 ...they have regular gas that is ethanol free at premium gas prices. I am not sure if the 1431/183 Walmart/Murphy gas station has ethanol free gas, though it probably does. |

Also the Murphy’s (walmart gas) over near Hwy 45 and 183 had ethanol-free at some point, although it’s been a year or so since I stopped there. Edit: Should have read one more post, already covered. |
