Whats the octane on the real gas?  Where are you located?  Here in central Indiana we have some ethanol free from Country Mark, the oil wells are here in SW Indiana(!) and it is refined here also.   They charge about 10 cents more per gallon, and it is 90 octane.  I use it for all my small engines, and did in my 68 LeMans until recently.

Too Fast, I'm so jealous of your local hookup! I get my 90-octane E0 at a Marathon station in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. I've been meaning to go visit some of the public marinas on Lake Erie to see if their pumps are accessible (from land) and if they offer better pricing...

tayto:
we have shell 91 and chevron 94 with no ethanol where I live in Canada just above washington state. i've heard rumours that our fuel is different,not as good as what they sell down in the USA. i also run shell 91 in my small engine stuff.

Brian B.:
Prior to Covid I travelled to Toronto from Chicago 4 to 5 times a year.  In all my rental cars, I never experienced any performance issues from Canadian gasoline.  It performed well and for that I am thankful.  Driving on the "Four-Oh-One" is challenging enough without worrying about gasoline quality!

Cliff Ruggles:
In most states they are NOT required to tell you that Ethanol is in the fuel.  I wouldn't go out of my way looking for it anyhow.  I use ethanol fuel here, 10 percent and have for many years now with zero issues anyplace.  The key to success is using parts that will hold up in it, and if you are using it in small power equipment don't leave it in the tank for many months or years, but really all fuel goes stale in time.  So keep fresh fuel in your equipment and sleep better at night......FWIW....
