Default Ethanol free gas... street car

Any reason not to use it in modern street cars? 40 cents a gallon cheaper near me and 90 octane.

No reason at all. Around here it’s called Recreational Gas.

You should get better mileage with the corn fuel out of the gas.

When gasahol first came to the market in the 80's there was some compatibility issues with seals on injectors and fuel lines. Just make sure the manufacturer approves the use of this fuel

We have lots of it around her but it is lower than 90 octane and more expensive than E-10.

I would use it in a heartbeat.

Runs 40-60 cents higher than regular around here but that could be our coastal location (lot of boating) and distance from the corn belt. Only know that when I’ve ridden my motorcycle in areas with a lot of snowmobiles (i.e. UP of MI) ethanol free premium fuel is more common and makes my bike run much better and increases the mileage as well (one reason I roll my eyes at feds lifting the ethanol content to 15%).

It's what gas WAS before Gasohol. Around here the stations just sell The premium (91) or at the Depot they also have regular (87) for your daily driver.

There is also a "Pure Gas" app that you can get for your phone.

Is it at a regular pump ? Or maybe being sold for "off road" marine and agricultural use with no road tax ?? Around here it is also a lot more expensive.
