Garrison's rep reports that the govt forced them to stop selling ethanol-free gasoline effective with the Thurs morning delivery. They are being force to sell 10% ethanol gas and may be directed to buy from other terminal source at a greater cost. – Kenneth Burross, Garrisons - Wichita Falls, TX (May 5, 2013)

What an AWESOME site. I checked for the tiny country store near Warsaw, Virginia where I get mine, and sure enough, it is listed. I shared with with a friend who has already gotten help from this site. Good job making this happen. Very unselfish of you, – John Lewis, Tappahannock, Virginia (May 8, 2013)

Have a way to add stations from smartphone app. – David, AL (May 10, 2013)

I've stopped adding stations to this list. Every time I add one, someone comes in behind me and removes it. Yet, I continue to buy ethanol free gas at these stations. I can only assume either someone doesn't believe it, or a competitor removes them from this list. I know of at least 3 ethanol free stations in my rural area, and I've added all three - They keep disappearing from this list. – William, Alabama (May 11, 2013)

William in Alabama, I encourage you to continue to add non-ethanol stations to the list. You may find that your stations are still listed but under a different city/town or name than what you may have listed it. I periodically go through the list and check to make sure GPS coordinates are listed as well as complete addresses and I have been adding pohne numbers whenever possible. Sometimes a station is de-listed because it is a duplicate listing. For those of you who are listing new stations here are a few tips; try to make the address as complete as possible. Make the address as acurate as possible. Do not use zip code instead of city/town. Sam says zip codes are useless to GPS units. Before you list a station then go on-line and look it up so you have it listed correctly. List the brand if possible and list the phone number so for those of us traveling we can call and verify hours and availability. If you have a GPS unit with you when you find a station then use your own coordinates rather than depending on the coordinates supplied by address because sometimes they are off. Lately quite a few stations have been added to the list which is very encouraging. But there are areas of the country that are loosing ground ie. the Southwest starting at Texas, and the upper Northwest. Gradually the mid-West is filling in but still quite weak. And of course the Northeast and California are virtual E0 deserts. Keep the pressure up on your local congressman and tell your local stations that alternatives do still exist. Keep listing those E0 stations! – Jonathan Lathbury, Atlanta, Georgia (May 11, 2013)

Hi, again Sam. Again, I have been experiencing obstruction by the site's evil gremlins. I have been trying to correct and update info about the station at: http://pure-gas.org/station?station_id=9859 When I try to submit the update, I get either "Some submitted information is missing or in error: You have entered an incorrect security code. Please try again. Please correct this information and submit the form again." OR a jump to a previously removed duplicate record for the station and the message: "The station you entered already exists in the database. It was removed on June 11, 2012 19:07 CDT. If you wish to reactivate this station, click the REACTIVATE button at the bottom." There is no specific url for this duplicate, but it is named Arrowhawk Smoke Shop. I'll save my new data to enter later if you can offer a solution. Regards, Roger – Roger McCulloch, Lion's Head, Ontario (May 12, 2013)

Okay.... I solved the problem myself. I went to the record for the station submitted at an earlier date than the other, reactivated it, then updated it. I then removed the duplicate station I was originally trying to update. The current and only record for the station is at http://pure-gas.org/station?station_id=4569 I think this is probably the way to deal with such a situation in the future, but perhaps I was just persistent enough to get lucky! – Roger McCulloch, Lion's Head, Ontario (May 12, 2013)

I just been told that by law all Texas stations must now sell ethanol. Does anyone know if that is true? – CAPTCHA, Texas (May 15, 2013)

CAPTCHA in Texas, To my knowledge and research there is no such Texas law on the books. What is happening is a vicious game of Cap & Trade of ethanol credits establised by the federal EPA that the various refineries have been trading around amongst themselves in an effort to blend as little ethanol into the fuel supply as possible. There is a glut of ethanol on the market but there is no demand for E85 because sales of flex fuel vehicles just haven't materialized. If the refineries make too much E85 then it can not be stored long term and will in short order go bad in their tanks. Even though the EPA has authorized the use of E15, few people are willing to use it because the manufacturers have warned that warranties will be violated. Retailers don't want to spend on the infrastructure for a product that potentially will go bad in their tanks because of non-sales. E10 is now almost universal and our precious E0 has become a boutique fuel. The ethanol credits were trading for pennies per gallon late last year but if I understood correctly they are now trading for upwards of $1.00+ per gallon. This hidden tax has served to keep fuel prices relatively high. One of the reason's E0 costs more at the pump is not because its more to produce (its actually chaeaper to produce) but because the refineries that still make it available have to pay heavily to continue making it available and their only choice is to pass it along to the end consumer. Dean Billings wrote extensively about this several years ago and so far what he said is coming true.At first glance I would call this the law of unintended consequence. However if the federal government is starting to make some serious money from the hidden Cap & Trade tax of ethanol then I'm starting to think that there were those who knew exactly what was going to happen, especially those in the EPA. So either we, the general public suffers through higher and higher costs of E0 fuel or our vehicles suffer from prolonged use of ethanol conatminated fuel or both.

There is a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Back in April Congressman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia introduced H.R.1461 titled Renewable Fuels Standards Elimination Act in an effort to repeal the EPA's renewable fuel program. Section 2 of the bill specifically repeals Section 211(o) of the Clean Air Act( 42 U.S.C. 7545(o)). There are already over 20 represetatives co-sponsoring this piece of legislature. Now's the time for you to contact your congressman and senators to get behind this bill and support it. Make them aware its not a democrat or republican thing but rather a national security thing. They can all understand that I hope. – Jonathan Lathbury, Atlanta, Georgia (May 17, 2013)

Jonathan, I would like to thank you for helping keep an eye on the site. I noticed someone went through and removed a majority of the stations in Colorado and I'm glad you were able to get most of them confirmed and re-added. Again, thank you very much! – John, Fort Collins, CO (May 19, 2013)
