Ha, I only wish we had E0 fuel around here. I'd love to see what it does to my FE as well as to my fuel trims. The nearest station that I know of is a self-service (un-staffed) station a solid 45 min from here. Kinda strange.

Here's a meld of 2 of my posts from other websites, adding to information from pure-gas.org:
Ah, ahh! The Nelson Oil Company station in Arlington, WA, which started serving 87 octane E0 about a year ago, was NOT convenient for me to buy E0. However, on April 4, 2015, it will be open 8am to 4pm on Saturday, which makes it excellent to visit, during trips to "grandma's place". Zowee! Don't have to travel 4 miles through Everett to get to an E0 station, now. Oh, yeah, they already increased their E0 pumps to two, one now serving 92 octane. Near the station on the highway to I-5, is a Salish Sea (Puget Sound) rich bottom land diary outlet for the public, serving the best farm fresh, cream & ice cream, big sugar cones & flavors, including maple nut. Wow! It's almost like the Stewart Shops in New York state, serving E0 & ice cream. Travel to Arlington on a near-empty gas tank & with empty bellies. During "Fair Days" & fall harvests, leave with your gasoline vehicle feasting on E0 & your mouth tasting Salish Sea Stillaguamish Native American salmon, Frybread, ice cream, corn & vegetables. |
A station in my area (Vancouver, WA) just added E0. They're much closer than any other station that has it... though they only have premium. If they added 87 octane, I'd fill with it every time.

pure-gas.org now lists over 10,000 ethanol-free(E0) sources. Picked up another Elantra. With E0, the Elantra(bad-mouthed for poor mpg) gave spectacular 46.2mpg with photo & beach-walking stops at the ocean, travel over hilly terrain, & stop&go I-5 traffic, but mostly heavy but steady travel. Last 5 cars lost 8%, 8%, 7%-8%, 7%, & 5% mpg when using E10 vs. E0.

Selling 100% ethanol-free gasoline(E0) as listed on pure -gas .org, is the Q-Mart in Aberdeen, WA, approaching the western Washington state coast & gateway to the Pacific Ocean. Most remarkable about the Q-Mart is their 87 octane E0 SELLS FOR THE SAME PRICE AS E10! Never heard of such a bargain in Washington state, altho I've envied Oklahoma E0 drivers, since their E0 is often priced similar to E10 in that state.

When gas was over $3/gal the difference between E0 and E10 at my favorite stations was $0.07 - $0.10. Now that the price has come down, it is between $0.25 and $0.50. Still racking my brain to figure out that one.

Or the gas suppliers are simply making a money grab on the E0 demand.
The only sources for it by me, that aren't 40 minutes out of the way, are for high octane race fuel sold in jugs for $9+ a gallon. The current gap between regular and midgrade is too high for the fuel economy boost at this point. |

Yes, I can see how you have no long term experience with real gasoline & its 8%, 8%, 7%-8%, 7% & 5% mpg superiority over E10 for my last 5 cars. |
