About $3.2/gallon here in Georgia last I checked. I use in all my tractors but do not farm with them. I believe (not supported by data) that non-ethynol will last longer in tanks that are not routinely used up and replaced.

The ethanol is hydroscopic (water absorbing) and hard on a lot of plastics, regular and synthetic rubbers. The non ethanol new gas still will phase separate and lose its octane etcetera with in a month or two if I understand correctly.

You're probably under the same EPA order that we are in Northwest Indiana. All gasoline sold must be oxygenated and around here, that means ethanol. E10, though.

$2.49 for E10 here. Add 30 cents for non-ethanol. I've never lived in a place where the difference was so great, but that 30 cent difference is statewide here. If you happen to need premium you'll have to bend way forward and kiss your bottom. It's way overpriced.

WTH is with the gas prices???? They have skyrocketed in the last couple of weeks!!!!
Around here 87 is $2.60 per gallon. WHY!?!?!? Did the price of a barrel go sky high?
The ONLY thing that 87 goes into is my vehicles. EVERYTHING else get 'High Test'.

Chew on this for a while. Dec 11, 2018 NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil output growth was expected to slow slightly for this year compared with previous forecasts, the Energy Information Administration said on Tuesday, but at a record 10.88 million barrels per day, the nation will end 2018 as the world’s top producer.

There was a day when E10 was 89 octane. Many turbo'd cars (Ford Ecoboost engines for one) could benefit from that. Then the oil companies figured out they could cheapen the blend and charge the same price.

Gas stations here have a system where they raise/lower the price about 50 US cents/USG EVERY DAY !! I can save/make $10 per tank if I time it right !

Saw some non-ethanol for $2.52 yesterday, and I was complaining about that, but I guess maybe I better be happy about it!

Heck yes Creston, it's $3.29 here, or it was yesterday. It's going up just about every day.

I bet gas prices are going up for spring break travelers. I know it seems to go up most every year around this time.

We don't have non E10 here that I'm aware of. Gas will be going up more soon as they say the summer blend costs more to make.
I had an old guy tell me once that unleaded gas won't give you a problem sitting for a time. It is the same as white gas and that stuff never goes bad. I leave it in all my gas equipment year round and never have any problems after extended sitting time. My friend was surprised when I went to get the D14 out last spring. First start of the year after sitting all winter. I hooked up the battery, turned on the gas, and it fire right off.
Do what you want, but I ain't buying no stabill!

What is different about new gas that makes it phase separate? When I was a kid back in the 1970s the combine, several of the tractors and the grain trucks we had were 1960s gassers and we had a buried 500 gallon tank in the barnyard that dad would have it filled every spring before planting and every fall before harvest. I never remember any worries about gas going bad in the tank back then and I know it sat in there for several months.

I don't know all the 'technicals' about it but... if you take a gallon of it, fresh from the pump, fill a clean glass big jar with it, place on solid shelf, see what happens after a week, then 2 then 4..... that 'gas' is now $4.50 US$ per USG here today...

VAfarmboy I miss spoke and it's the ethanol gas that phase separates absorbing moisture after a while, also read somewhere that the parts of the alcohol and gas molecules combine after time and form little strands. The ethanol free gas starts losing it's upper light end distillates and octane when not completely sealed and kept at moderate temps, same goes for ethanol gas. I think I got it right this time. I'll go check my blood glucose again.
May be Dave Kamp can chime in for us.

we have some of the poorest burn gas in world and it's all better than $3 a gallion. Got down to 2.99 for several day and right back to 3.20 before I could get any delivered to the ranch.
