When I'm in Colorado I can often find ethanol free premium and that's what I buy when it's available. Each state has it's own rules as to what fuel blends must be sold. And while ethanol does raise octane, that's not why it's put into gasoline. Regular gas and Premium gas are both 10% ethanol here. It is put into our fuel to lessen our dependence upon foreign oil. It doesn't work in practice because for every gallon of low energy, water absorbing, corrosive ethanol we produce, a gallon of high energy efficent oil based diesel and over 100 gallons of water are consumed farming and transporting that swill. But the "intent" is reduce our dependence and that's all that matters these days.
