Re: where to buy non ethanol fuel
actually i do... LOL
gasoline with ethanol has a lower BTU(british thermal units) rating
, that means less power. ethanol also asborbs water
one gallon of gasoline has roughly 125,000BTU's
one gallon of ethanol has roughly 84,000BTU's
your car will run leaner and get worse gas mileage.
ethanol sucks........... PERIOD

757 is a pretty big area. Where specifically? Anyways, most of the country has e10 now. I don't like it any more than you do. If you want real gas, you're going to have to go to one of those gas supply stations that supply the gas stations. You won't find it at a gas station.

You aren't running E85 either, you're running a blended fuel that is mostly gas with a small percntage of ethanol, less than 10%.
And ethanol fuels like E85 are sigficantly more resistant to premature detonation and work well in high boost applications. So I really wouldn't say they "suck".
Summer fuel as a whole is roughly 1.5% - 1.7% more poweful than the fuel sold during the colder months.
Perhaps it isn't the fuel that is making your car slow but the fact that your car is a shitty 20 year old Civic designed for fuel economy not winning Le Mans?

That means you'll use more fuel but it isn't going to lower your power as you indicated in your first post by stating your car is running slower.
