Bill:
If you go into the Minnesota Street Rod Association website (msra.com) they
list all the gas stations in Minnesota and Wisconsin that sell ethanol free
gas under "Features". I bought my last from a Shell station. Usually only
one pump has it and it is well marked "for small engines and classic cars
only". Better to call first because some of the stations are small and have
changed hands.

What major gas company are you getting it from. I hate using this ^&*()
ethonol gas (plus a bunch of us started keeping track of milage only to
fiind that 10% ethonol results in 10% lower milage)!
