Default ethanol free fuel

I believe the marine industry won it's case against "Uncle Sam" mandating ethanol in the fuel. So, if that is true has anyone started to see marina's recently offering ethanol free fuel. More specifically I am inquiring about my back yard here in southeast MA.

We have always have had ethanol free fuel in Oklahoma, although it is only 91 octane.

We could always, and still can get ethanol free fuel at marinas on Lake St. Clair in Michigan.

LOTO marine/on water fuel is pretty much all non ethanol. You can get 91-93 ethanol free at a few places on land.

Almost all stations in Nebraska offer both at land pumps and its clearly marked.

Its kind of ironic the cornbelt states don't have to use it as much as others. Its hard to come by and very pricey out west.

Same here, I purchase ethanol free at the marinas near us. At least one pump on land I know of offers it. I fill up all the lawn mower jugs there.

We want to sell and profit from it, but not have to use it,I presume!

There is only one marine source non-ethanol fuel location in the Seattle area. It is Morrison's 2732 Westlake Ave N (lake Union).
