Around Spokane, I don't think it is possible to buy gasoline without alcohol from conventional sources. I bought a couple of gallons of low lead AvGas to use with my chainsaws, as it is supposed to not have any alcohol. But I could only get the AvGas because my Son works at an airport. The AvGas cost about 1.5 times what regular gas from a gas station would.
Supposedly the ethanol added unleaded we are sold helps reduce air pollution, which is a problem sometimes in the Winter, especially down in the bowl where Downtown Spokane is located. I also suspect that with the Federal programs, that ethanol is cheaper than regular gasoline. At any rate, I have not found any stations that sell straight gasoline. There is one station that now advertises E85, but I have never bought any.
Is the 10% ethanol gas that we can buy a problem? It does not appear to have caused any problems in the machines I use it in, although most of them are newer, and probably were designed to allow the blends. I have noticed that the blend gasoline does not seem to keep quite as well as the old straight gasoline, but I use it up fast enough that I have not noticed any problems. Time will tell. Good luck!
