Hey Chrome....only one I know of in the Austin area is in Jonestown and it's priced at $4.25 a gallon.    My buddy got gas there, the pump still has a label on it that states "May have up to 10% ethanol"!!

yeah i checked the map and the closest one i saw was out that way, bummer about ethanol content and yikes at that price! I found a few in South Texas for my pops, he likes to keep some around for his generator and small engine equipment. My truck is carb'd too and i keep some of this around https://www.amazon.com/Driven-70040-Carb-Defender-Additive/dp/B00G3DRNZ8

Also, Aviation fuel has no Ethanol.  It's expensive but lasts longer than the pump gas we have here in California.  I add a little MMO (marvel mistery oil) to it as well. 

It's a 4 hour round trip to buy Ethanol free fuel from a gas station for me.

Kind of strange that my brother and I were just talking about this yesterday w/ the UPS man. Apparently the local station they have been using has been down for repairs since October.

Too bad you can't get some from Edwards AFB down the way.
