Try buying fuel at a marina, or at a station near boating areas. Non-ethanol fuel is usually available, as ethanol in a boat fuel tank leads to problems. Water will settle to the tank bottom if using plain gasoline, but ethanol absorbs
any water and holds it in suspension, causing nasty problems (got an oar on board?!).
Also, aviation gas cannot have any ethanol in it, (got a parachute on board?!) so if you can buy gas at an airport, your car will thank you!
