I have had several folks allow BUC-EE's gas stations sell ethanol free gas
They were in counties only and not in any city limit
Have called more than a few and the employees have no clue as to what I am asking them
Any know before I start driving around to see personally ??

May not be of help, but if your have Murphy gas stations, their premium is supposed to be E-Free.
Get some and do a water test......easy to check before a complete fill up.

I'd be a little surprised being anywhere close to one of our EPA non-attainment areas. Personally, chasing "ethanol free" gas is IMHO a waste of time. Pump fuel of any sort is not readily storable. And I have no issues with any of it in my equipment. We're a long way here from any EPA area and you can't find any ethanol free anyway. And not driving to Cross Plains, Brownwood or San Angelo to fetch it.
Most Buc-ees stations are huge, so I could see them having a couple of pumps set aside for oddball stuff. Not here, no mondo stations like Racetrac, etc.

FYI for those not familiar with "Buc-ees"
"In 2012, Buc-ee's opened its largest travel center in New Braunfels, Texas, on Interstate 35. The New Braunfels location is the largest convenience store in the world at 68,000 square feet. The store features 120 fueling positions, 83 toilets, 31 cash registers, 4 Icee machines, and 80 fountain dispensers."
Most of the other ones ain't small.

I've switched to looking for those who offer E-85. When things get serious, I plan to have a tune for pump E-85, another tune for race E-85 and the yet another for methanol. The degree of boost will be set accordingly. There will always be a cell for methanol for when the spray is activated. Boost = spray as a chemical intercooler.

No E-85 here either unless you buy a drum of Sunoco or VP.

Most Cenex stations premium (92 or 94 depending on regon) is ethanol free.

Thanks guys :-)
I let the 600 Holley on the 352 in my 65 F100 sit over 2 months twice in 3 years
Had to soak it, run wire through all the orifices, and rebuild it cause the pump needle gunked up
The bowls/jets were full on gunk.. I drained the fuel tank as well... ran like crap after carb rebuild
Fuel smelled like a Bramah's hiney
Thought I would try ethanol fuel and see if there is a difference
Firing the mill up at least 3 times a month and getting it to 160 degrees is what I normally do

About a year ago I saw Ethanol free gas at the Bucc-ee's in Katy. I haven't stopped through there in a while to know if its something they still offer.

Buc Cees in Waller Tx sells ethanol free gasoline. Expect to pay about $1/gallon more than gas with Ethanol added

Thanks guys !!
