Was kind of surprised to find no premium at either of two pump locations in town. Regular and Diesel only at both. So asked and found out premium was 32 miles away down the road (with ethanol). So to further depress myself, I just checked online of closest no ethanol. That is only 115 miles away in Show Low AZ! So I guess if my bird ever makes it down there, I will get to transport gas, if I want no ethanol. Or burn 5 or 6 gallons to drive it to the ethanol (premium) place. Really hate to run ethanol, it has never seen it in use.
You could always get your own tank and have fuel delivered to you. I have a friend who does that and I'm considering it myself.
