If you feel negatively about E10, the Crown station in Easton MD carries ethanol free gas. They might share who their supplier is. Several stations around me carry mid-grade ethanol free and typically charge a $.70 premium over gallon over regular E10. The link below is to a site that lists retail outlets of ethanol free gas in the US and Canada.

And a heck of a lot in oil changes (both labor and oil) and routine stuff like clutch cleanings and gear box overhauls.  Only question I have is about ethanol.  Looks like we might not have a choice but to run E10.  Anyone have any experience with E10 in a 912 that gets used a lot?

And you'll save several dollars per hour in fuel costs! :)
