A local gas station redid their gas tanks and gas pumps. They now have non ethanol gas. It comes from it's own gas nozzle and was 89 octane.
But $4.69 per gallon.

Non ethanol gas at gas station

Well the price is high but I am hoping this is a sign of things to come with non ethanol gas.
Would like my marina to go with non ethanol gas.
In this area of southern Vermont, several Sunoco stations have zero ethanol premium. But it is 91 octane, whereas the common octane for premium around here is 93
I dont use it year round. I buy it around September and use it in my Lawnmower until Im done mowing for the year .
I buy 2 gal/year for 2 cycle mix.
This covers my blower, 2 weedeaters, chainsaw, and snowblower.
It is in that price range around me. I figure that it is not going to break me.
Glad Sheetz came into the market, so that there is ready access for it.
Beats driving 30 miles each way to get it.

E0 here is always 50 cents higher than regular.
Typically pump E0 is the base fuel for high octane before they put the 10% ETOH in at the terminal. So it'll be around 90 octane, a couple points less than what you get for high-test.
If you like it, buy it, try to get some economy of scale going. As a niche product it's occupying a tank, and maintaining those is expensive.

Most stations that carry E0 here in northern Maine are about $1 more/gallon. I use it for small engines OPE. As well as for storage of seasonal vehicles/equipment during the off season.
I've opened up too many carbs to find water/goo in them.
This is a mechanical fuel pump from a GM gasoline inboard. I put a block off plate on it and now run an electric fuel pump.
Had the consistency of sour cream.

E0 here ranges anywhere from 50 cents to buck more than ethanol. Its mainly for the boat crowd.
I have been noticing fewer stations selling every grade as e-free. (One has converted to only 87 octane as either with or without ethanol)
90 octane is a dead grade with or without ethanol in this region. 92/93 is very rare

Complaining about that price! We can only get e10 here. My local prices. Much more out in the desert stations

Well look at the bright side - you have lots of top tier choices!
Expensive gas sounds OK to me if it means fewer neighbors.
How did you wire it so the electric fuel pump stops should the engine stall? I had looked for a previous boat and did not see any marine rated relays that would stop the fuel pump if the engine stalled but would still run it for 10 to 20 seconds when the key was first turned on. I went back to a mechanical fuel pump.
I was grumbling having to pay 3.29 for 87 octane this morning
. Almost no ethanol free options in the central Virginia area.

Hyvee and Casey's sell 91 E0 Octane here. It to is pricey. 85 cents more than 87 octane E10. Used it some in the Maverick when it was only 50 cents more dear. Results were 2-4 mpg more. And the hybrid ran smoother and friskier
