Until recently we were able to purchase regular gasoline (87 Octane) without ethanol added to it. This is no longer the case. A couple of guys at work insisted that the 91 octane and the 93 octane gosolines do not have the ethanol additive and there in order to prevent problems purchase it. Basically, they insist that the higher octanes can not be obtained with an ethanol additive.

Does anyone know if their position of getting non-ethanol gasoline simply means one must purchase the higher octane gas is valid?
