I really do not like this 10% ethanol gas!

Over here, northern Europe, a 5 % mix of Ethanol in both 95 and 98 Octane has been standard for a long time. Have not noticed any issues with my Box at all, no power diff either on those few occasions where I use 99 Octane without ethanol. Also been running a Bi-fuel Volvo on E85 for three years now without issues. Guess there are some minor adaptations in the fuel system both regarding material and programming. The Volvo has a slight power increase on E85 compared to regular gas
However 10% Ethanol could be above the spot where there are no noticable problems for cars not prepared for it.

I seek out nonethanol any time I can. I have checked milage and It is noticeable better. When using 10% ethanol in power equip (mowers, saws, weedeaters) the ethanol causes all types of problems That I do not have with nonethanol. The problem I am having is that the only nonethanol I have been able to find lately is 87 octane.

First off, North American Octane rating is different to European Octane (AKI vs RON). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octane_rating#Regional_variations

Secondly, European gas are cleaner (no DFI issues) than NA.

The only place I can find gas without ethanol in Ohio is at airports and marinas and I don't live near either one. Does anyone know of an alternative source?

I really went to school on this thread. I thought Ohio had to lable the pump with the percentage of ethanol if any. NOT Pure-gas.org click on your state at the bottom and a list will pop up. A small one in my case, oh well I guess my cars and mower will have to suck it up until we run out of corn.
