Most gas without etoh is sold near the water. Ethanol will actually dissolve 
the 
built in fiberglass gas tanks of may boats and turn it into gum (see boatus 
articles). Not hard to find if there is a marina handy but difficult for most.

Dave,

Careful research can locate a few "real" gas supplies, even in the Midwest:

Chris,
Unfortunatey ethanol is NOT A CHOICE at gas pumps (bowsers?) in the US
midwest. ALL gasoline in the midwest US contains at least 10 % ethanol and
some can contain much more.
Low octane ("regular") or "High"er octane ("super") is usually the only
choice, but both have 10% + ethanol.  Often there is a midgrade, but also
with
10% + ethanol.
I an NOT into buying cheap gas - I do buy the highest octane I can find ,
but
I am still concerned with the ethanol causing my tank to corrode or rust
(and
my fuel filter plugging as a result of the corrosion) - hence the stainless
steel tank question.
