Check out a Mobil station next time. Last time I was at the local one, they had 91 octane "clear gas" (no alcohol) in addition to their usual higher 105 octane "non-"oxygenated" (no alcohol) racing fuel in side-by-side pumps.

The nozzles on these pumps are the traditional size, so there is less
"squirting" pressure to either prematurely trip the automatic shutoff or to cause sudden splash back. Mobil is the only brand of gasoline that I've seen fairly consistently offering real no-lead, without alcohol.

P.S. The "bellows" attachment is not required in Minnesota... yet. I don't know about other states.
