I'm almost positive the nearest ones are in Dallas.
Yeah I saw that site but nothing around here. It is user based input so I thought maybe someone knew of a station but didn't know about that site.
Someone had told me not very long ago that the Exxon in Navasota at 6 and Washington had it but appears to be untrue.

Last one I know of was the Exxon next to the Blinn campus. Sadly that was years ago.
I would average about 15 when I filled up there and drove around. Going back home to Houston and refilling then driving around I would get only about 11-12. My truck hated ethanol.
Don't even get me started on my boat or motorcycle....

I don't think there is a local place. If anyone does it will be the COOP.
Wonder what it would take for someone to open up a store or start carrying it?
Dismantling the EPA is what it would take. There are federal mandates to deploy it in the clean air act based on winter CO concentrations. I think the states should pass laws requiring the vendors to display the BTU adjusted price at the pump. Would wake up a lot of people. Especially the folks that think saving 10 cents to buy E85 is a good deal.
I believe at one point they race track had non diluted real fuel for off road use.

Unfortunately, most people are too stupid to understand what a BTU is and why it's important in fuel. Those who do, already know about E85.
I'd gladly use E85 if it was 1/2 the cost of a gallon of gas, but it's not, so it doesn't make sense to use.
The airport carries 100 octane low-lead avgas. Not great for the catalytic converter, but at least no ethanol.
The funny thing is, up here in Oklahoma, EVERY gas station has ethanol free gas. And only one grade of 10% which is usually about 10-20 cents cheaper than 87 octane ethanol free.
