The small engine manufacturers and marine industry really pushed on EPA to allow alcohol-free, and it seems to have borne fruit.

When I drove thru Iowa a while ago (heart of cornbelt and many ethanol plants), I was confused by there being two 89 octane choices, one that cost 25 -30 cents more. It was not identified as non-alcohol, so I asked the clerks. None of them could tell me the difference. On my way out, a local told me that the higher-priced stuff was indeed alcohol-free.
