I'll never understand where people got it into their heads that E10 is bad.
Gas with ethanol has been around since the early 70s, where it was called gasahol among other names.
I've been using it since then and I've NEVER had a fuel related problem with any of my vehicles

I think most of the gas in Canada is ethanol free.

YES, & at quite a few OKC metro area stations. it's priced reasonably in comparison to e10 junk gas.
Weds I filled up in OKC at %3.05 a gallon. In comparison, the very cheapest price in the metro area for e10 junk gas that day was $3.03 a gallon. In order to go the same amt of miles on the same $60 purchase, I would have needed a gallon & a half bigger gas tank, & the e10 would have needed to cost less than $2.82 a gallon.

I'm late. Can get ethanol-free gasoline one town over. Two towns away, one station had a good price. After the oil refinery fire, that caused prices to jump skyward, recovered & prices dropped, the station with good prices did not come down in price as much. Our three cars increased their mpg by 8.5%, 7% & 5% after switching to 100% pure gasoline. All engines are smoother, quieter, & have more power to ascend hills with less downshifting.
Only ethanol engines with much greater compression ratios than gasoline engines, can get the efficiency out of ethanol.

I wish. Ethanol is a big scam, takes more BTU to make then produces. Brazil makes from sugarcane. we use corn which is a joke. makes food cost more, farm land cost go up. it's all a scam by politicians purchased by lobbyist. not good for the environment

=> Are you going to pay an extra 21¢ a gallon to be e-free? <=
If I'm driving the Saturn, yes. Without a second thought. Because with the loss of mileage on E10 it's still WAY cheaper on a cost per mile basis. The price of gas would have to be around $1.50 a gallon just to break even at a 21¢ differential. Don't get me wrong, I'll get a cheaper price if I can but ultimately it comes down to how much it costs to run fuel, and E10 just costs way more, because it goes so much less distance.
So for my car, if e-free gas is, say, $3.75, then E10 would have to be about $3.00, no more than 3.20, just to even come close to the same driving distance for the dollar. YMMV.
Btw if you know the addresses of those Alabama sources, please post 'em here.

I don't think it is. It tore up my Holly 600 carburetor by causing the float control to freeze in place with slime on the float control shaft in the primers an secondaries floats. this messed up my 327 engine over a length of time. it cost for Replacement engine & labor all together was $4000.00+ what will they do next to help us out.
