Seriously though, that's good to know ferret. There is one place around here that sells ethanol-free gasoline. It's an old, run-down station that also sells some pretty decent ham too. Folks come from all over the place to buy it.
They keep some strange hours though. I guess I should buy a couple 5-gallon cans and fill them with the good stuff.
On my last ride I took a picture of their store hours.............................
Monday thru Friday 6am - 3pm
Saturday 6am till noon.
At least I can re-fuel there on Mondays!

Ham and gas .... Hmmmmmm.
No need to fill 5 gallon cans, its really no biggie. Your motor is designed to accept 10 % ethanol. Now if they ever force that E 15 on us though, we're fooked.
I just had a talk with a guy about this the other day when I stopped for coffee and he saw me on the CB. He's restoring a 60's Honda of some sort, and couldn't figure out why his fuel line kept getting eaten up. He was around my age (in his early 30's), and had no idea that ethanol was bad for engines that weren't designed for it. Around here, the only pure gasoline is usually sold for boats, it's 89 octane and they charge out the nose for it. It's one of the few reasons I like going up to Iowa to visit family.
