I thought I recalled several marine dealers on the Lake, where you could still purchase non-ethanol gasoline?

If true, could someone provide those marina names. Would love to eliminate ethanol in my boat, as it's caused me many issues and money.

Thanks,

CHannel Marine in the channel sells ethanol but it is blended with that Valve-tech additive, seems to be fine in my 23 year old gal

When my F250 was new (2001), I was only getting around 11-11.5 mpg but it's got the 5.4L engine and 4.10 axle ratio. About the same time the E10 showed up, I had installed a K&N intake kit, shortie headers and a Flowmaster cat-back exhaust. My mileage has improved slightly to 13-13.5 mpg. Oh, and I replaced the spark plugs last year. Read into that what you want.

I don't know about this year but last year West Alton Marina was also selling ValvTech-treated fuel.

Shep Browns has been adding Startron for a couple of years now. It helps me as I have used it for about 4 years now.

FYI, according to the site pure-gas.org. there are 3 gas stations in NH that sell gas without ethanol. The one closest to Winni is Freedom Market on Rt. 25 just before the Maine border.
