I have a service station down the street that has 89 octane no-ethanol gas for sale. With the higher octane and no ethanol would my fuel mileage go up appreciably?

we had a no eth station when I lived in greenville nc, it ran pretty good - wouldn't say substantial

but in my case the no eth was cheaper than the ethed

My no ethanol station charges more. It is used a lot in boats because ethanol in the gas causes a lot of problems with outboard motors.

that makes sense... ethanol absorbs or attracts water. small power equipment also dont run well on it and there are issues with storing it along as before they mixed it into gas. there is a filling station i go to that put up a little display with a sigh that reads " your mower on ethanol" under a riding mower belly up. i should take a pic next time i go by.

I don't know if it's just the pure gasoline but I get 17/21.5mpg city/hwy. That's a little higher than it was rated for to begin with but, I also use nothing but high quality synthetic fluids in my KJ.

Many-a-mechanic I've talked to have told me that ethanol destroys engines internally. Always use the non-ethanol if you can. The only non-ethanol stations we have around Seattle are for fleet vehicles / transportation trucks...
ethanol is supposed to be better for the environment, but worse for your car.

In my area, Columbia SC, the non ethyl gas typically cost .10 more a gallon. Of the stations that have non-ethyl gas, not all have regular non-ethyl. Some have mid grade and/or premium only.

One time I tested mileage it seems that my mileage improved enough to warrant the .10 on the regukar gas. When using mid grade it was not worth it but I got some relief of mind on the gas going out the pipes.

Fortunately one station in Columbia has all 3 and 24 hour pumps.

You can find all of the stations in your area by go ing to http://pure-gas.org/

Be aware that not all stations listed may have that gas. I have found two such in Columbia.

there are no non-ethanol stations near me

No ethanol free stations in Norfolk?? Aren't y'all near the coast with a lot of boats? I would think y'all should have plenty.
