We can still get 110 octane in GA and TN as well. I have no idea about other states. It isnt easy to find but its available, generrally ariund race tracks at small independent markets. As you might think, My cars run great on it. It is expensive so I dont run it that often, but anytime I am close and need gas i fill up.

Ditto What everyone has said about ethanol retaining water. It is horrible for all engines. Cars handle it better than lawn mowers , blowers, etc only because of the larger tank. If you leave it in your car over winter you need additives in the fuel. That being said my 80 911 ran ok with ethanol, but i used a variety of additives when i had to use it. Its about 30 miles to the nearest 110 octane pumps from home so occasionally i had to use the ethanol mixture gas. I sold it last summer and it is off to better places.
