Default Ethanol free gas shortage

Haven't been able to get ethanol free gas here for 2 weeks now. Station says they have no ETA for it. Is this happening everywhere?

Just strain out the ethanol. LOL

BTW, Delaware is the only State that doesn't sell no ethanol gas at the pumps. Not even the marinas have it. I've asked and asked but no one here knows why.

That's 'cause you guys in Delaware have all the strainers.

Pure-gas.org lists two locations in Delaware, but it may or may not be up to date. https://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=DE

What's "ethanol free gas"? Where I live in the Chicago MSA. I would have to use a half tank of gas to get to and return from a corn squeezins free fuel station. It's been that way for many years. I heard that there are a couple in southern Wisconsin and maybe one out of the MSA an hour drive to the west.

Here in the metro Detroit area, $4.04 a gallon yesterday morning for 90 octane. There is another station a little farther away that has 87 octane ethanol free but the Circle K 90 octane works great in my small engine equipment.

I only use ethanol free gas in all my small engines, and also my old carburetor cars. It is readily around me as of right now. But to those of you who can't get it, you can make your own ethanol free gas.

I want your prices. 87 octane E10 has been $3.99 for a couple months now. I think the most local non-ethanol is just under $5
