I have looked for alcohol free gas in the past and again when I posted above. For some reason, California (far from the corn belt) has the fewest outlets by far.
I have been told that Stihl warranties are invalid if gasohol is used. Interestingly, Stihl makes no such claims in its literature or on its website, saying that E10 (10%) is OK.
I think there are a bunch of non-engine performance factors in this near scam.
As I said, my Stihl chainsaw functions well after 28 years of gasohol use.
As much as I hate to tempt fate, I have to say that all the other equipment (see number of tanks above) I use regularly show no ill effects that I can see. Many are over 20 years old and one is 71.

I was hoping to find the experiences of others in the Cellar.
