Ethanol-Free. Great for small engines on lawnmowers, generators, snowblowers, and so on. Also good for ‘non-road-legal’ cars and motorcycles.
Similar to 93-octane pump gas, but without the ethanol, and supplemented with our 100-Octane Racing Fuel. Great for high-performance engines and those that go for long periods without running.

eth·a·nol
Being hygroscopic, ethanol attracts moisture to your fuel. At concentrations of as little as 10%, ethanol can lead to the destruction of carburetors, gas tanks, and fuel pumps
According to the US Department of Energy, U.S. gasoline contains ethanol to oxygenate the fuel, which reduces air pollution. The consumer products rating website digitaltrends.com, however, offers a different view of it.
Digitaltrends explains that fuel ethanol is used to enhance the octane rating of gasoline. Higher octane gas resists detonation, so it burns rather than exploding. But raising the octane level of gasoline is expensive; that’s why premium fuel costs more than regular. Adding ethanol reduces the tendency of low-grade gasoline to detonate, enabling our national fleet to run on crappier gas.
There’s also a political angle, reports digitaltrends. Ethanol is generally made from corn, crop waste, wood chips, or sugarcane. Much of the biomass used to make ethanol is grown in politically important states. Iowa, for example, can trace $5 billion in the state’s economy and 47,000 jobs directly to corn-based ethanol. Until 2016, virtually every presidential candidate to win the Iowa caucuses since 1980 had pledged to support the continued mandate for ethanol in our fuel.
The consumer watchdog site goes on to state … it’s no surprise that the presence of ethanol in U.S. gasoline is mandated by Congress. It started with the 1990 Clean Air Act. And then, in 2005, Congress passed the Renewable Fuel Standard that created minimum levels for the use of renewable fuels. In 2007, Congress raised the renewable fuel standard targets to 36 billion gallons by 2022. By 2014, 13 billion gallons of ethanol were being mixed into the U.S. gasoline supply every year.
More reliability. Have you ever gone to use your vintage car, lawn mower, snow blower, etc. and it doesn't start? Ethanol has broken down some part of your fuel system since the last time you used it and now your day is ruined. Switching to ethanol free fuel will prevent this from happening nearly 100% of the time.
Better mileage, ethanol has a lower power potential so it takes more of it to produce the same power. Pure gasoline makes more power by default thus increasing mileage and performance.
