Can I buy gasoline without ethanol?
Ethanol-free gas, or pure oil, is a type of fuel that can be used instead of ethanol-mixed gases. Most vehicles run just fine on a 10% mix of ethanol in their gasoline. However, some vehicle drivers are switching to ethanol-free gas for a variety of reasons, while others are shying away from it.
Does all gas have ethanol in it now?
Most of the gasoline now sold in the United States contains some ethanol. All gasoline engine vehicles can use E10. Currently, only flex-fuel and light-duty vehicles with a model year of 2001 or newer are approved by the EPA to use E15. Flex-fuel vehicles can use any ethanol-gasoline blends up to E85.

Is premium fuel ethanol-free?
Premium gas doesn’t provide any more power or contain better additives than regular gas, and it contains the same amount of ethanol as other grades. It just resists detonation (knock) better than lower-octane gas—nothing more, nothing less. If so, keep using 89-octane to regain some power and save your engine.

What are the pros and cons of ethanol free gas?
The use of ethanol-free gas makes us more fuel-dependent overall. This dependence inevitably leads to increased gas prices. Ethanol-free gas is not as easy to find as E10 or E15. Most gas stations will make it a priority to have ethanol-based gasoline.
How do you know if you are buying ethanol free gas?

Ethanol is the only commonly used gasoline additive that is highly water soluble. meanjoe75fan July 5, 2016, 11:44pm #9 100% correct.
