    The only ethanol free fuel in my area is sold as recreational gasoline and is typically 90 octane "premium ". The regular midgrade and premium automotive gasoline all contains ‘up to’ 10% ethanol. I have actually heard it usually runs closer to 15% most of the time. The rec gas sells for about $4 a gallon and rarely fluctuates with auto fuel prices unless they get very high. They just make elevated profits on it. I still buy it to run in all my small engines and outboards though. The ethanol is really bad for them and has caused lots of problems for me before I switched. I switched as soon as it became available to me. MUCH better! Definitely opt for ethanol free fuel, premium or not.
