Default Boating: Ethanol-free gasoline

Does anyone know of a local gas station that sells ethanol-free gas? I know they sell it over at Crystal River, but I was looking for a closer gas station.

I always use STABIL Marine , the blue kind, everytime I put gas in my boat. If not it will lead to costly repairs!

I started using the STABIL marine in both my motorcycles as well as techron fuel additive. That damn ethanol separates from the gas and clogs up the fuel parts just like cholesterol does in our arteries.

Default Problems with ethanol

My old pro up north now runs one of the largest golf cart rental business in CT.

I stopped by to see him & to discuss the options I was mulling over for possibly buying a new cart vs. putting batteries in my 6 year old one. Thought gas might give me more range.

His advice was stay electric, mainly due to the maintenance issues he has been encountering based on ethanol in the fuel supply.

Bottom line is, if possible, using the ethanol free gas mentioned above might be a good alternative for carts.

Anyone using it for carts and if so, how are you finding it?
