Source for gas without ethanol

[richard]

Are there any companies left in San Diego which do not include ethanol in 91 octane gas?

I don't think so. California Reformulated Gasoline (CaRFG3) regulations do not require the use of ethanol. However, ethanol is an oxygenate, and there is an oxygen content requirement established by CARB. Since the death of MTBE as an additive in 2003, ethanol has been used to meet the required CARB oxygen content requirement, plus the corn lobby has pushed federal mandates for the use of ethanol in fuels. I think all street pump gas in CA now contains 5.7% ethanol, soon to be boosted to 10%. You have to go to race gas suppliers to find non-oxygenated fuel and avoid ethanol content, I think. Sunoco 260 GTX is an unleaded race fuel without ethanol, but it is for "offroad use only" in race series that do not allow oxygenated fuel.

Sometimes I have gas without ethanol, but usually.... Oh, never mind!

TJ is not to far away. Would be a fun deal to have someone with truck and Large extra tank go for pre event gas runs and split up the fuel at the track.

Could this be a bussiness oppertunity for a woodbee racer?

Remember Summers past when "Country Gentlemen" white sweet corn was bountiful? In the height of Summer you could buy ten ears for a dollar? My son, when young, use to call it corn on the bone. Now when available its a dollar an ear! Thanks Bush and the corn lobby you've hurt my stomach and my gasoline.
