Ethanol free 91 here in NY on the water and at most gas stations on land. I run it in all my snowmobiles, lawn equipment, Corvettes (when I had them) and my Harleys. I even put it in my kid's 86 El Camino.

All my marinas have ethenol free Valvetech come to think of it I dont know of any here that dont (that I go to anyways)
I read an article in Professional Boat Builder that said you should never mix the two, ethenol street fuel and non eth marine fuel. Said there are additives in both that don't work well with each other. Turns to a sludge that gunks things up pretty bad .. . . . . . article had pics . . . wasn't pretty.

I guess maybe I should have been a bit more clear with my question. I am aware there are plenty of areas where non ethanol is available. It's not the northeast!! My question is now that the marine industry apparently won their case against the ethanol fuel at their docks has a change over been seen where there was ethanol ONLY?

Not sure about a change over?, but I will post this here for those who are interested.
http://www.pure-gas.org/ - select your state/province and it will list the locations and grade of fuel that is eth. free.
Great website for those who like to run non-eth. fuel.

Very easy to get in NYS, most gas stations have it now, and the marina's. The marina's carry 91 non ethanol. Some of the gas stations on land even have both 91 and 87 non ethanol. I get 87 for my yard equipment.
