It is my understanding that BP and Shell do not blend alcohol into their gas. That is in Kentucky. Most small airports will sell you 100 octane and many stations stock 110 octane if you look around near tracks. During the summer/winter switch it is essential to get more octane. Actually a mater of vapor pressure rather than octane but it works. Probably does not matter in the smart motors. Most injected cars are not so particular. Back to the question: BP and Shell.

Any seller participating in the introduction of (federally) non-road taxed fuel (e.g. avgas or race gas - both color dyed to show that no tax was paid before distribution) into an on-road vehicle is subject to heavy federal fines and state licensing sanctions. Don't count on their happy participation in pumping directly into your vehicle.

I have a local station that sells premium gas for hot rods and high performance vehicles, like snowmobiles and atvs. The pump is labeled as "no oxygenator added" I take that to mean no ethanol. I plan on using this station for all my needs.
