Finding ethanol free gas

I prefer to use ethanol free gas in my Packard (and my lawnmower, but I digress). I have always used the website pure-gas.org to find local gas stations that sell ethanol free. Good website, but very clunky, not optimized for a phone, and slow to load if you have limited bandwidth.

I downloaded the Pure Gas app, and it worked flawlessly for me today.

Just throwing it out there if you too like finding ethanol free gas when you're away from home. As far as I know, it's supported across the entire US. Happy ethanol free motoring!

Thanks for this, Ken. We are fortunate to have a station that supplies ethanol free gasoline. It is 91 grade and works well in most vintage engines. This is a good thing to use, especially for cars that are not driven a great deal. John

I've used the Pure-Gas website for a long time, but I never was able to get the app to work correctly.

Over the last year or so, however, I began to notice that some of the locations that were listed as selling ethanol free gas we're no longer selling it, and others that are selling it or not listed. I've tried to update it in the areas where I have done traveling, but I don't know if anybody else is doing that. I have been unable to find a database like it anywhere else is that anywhere near as thorough or accurate as this one was when it was fully active.

I had always just used the website, but I downloaded the app Saturday, and it led me to a station with ethanol free gas in small town NC. I know they rely on users to update, so there is some disparity based on where you're at.

I can't find the app on my Google Play Store. Their website says they have an app for the Android phones, but when I click on it, it says NOT FOUND.

It won't run on my iPhone either as it requires a later OS that my old phone is capable of.
