I'm not convinced you'll find any gas in the US without ethanol in it. I'm not sure if every state requires a posting that the gas has ethanol, but I'm willing to bet all U.S. gas does. Supposedly, it is better for the atmosphere and, oibviously, cheaper for the gas companies.

In IL (maybe other states) the % of ethanol is posted at the pump. Here (a big corn producing state) it's 10%. There is probably information by state online somewhere.

I went to the Shell station in Mulberry yesterday and the amount of Ethanol (10%) was posted on all of the available pumps.

I think the ethanol reduces the gas mileage. I was getting 28 miles per gallon and it is down to 21-23 now.
