Ethanol is everywhere

In the Northeast I haven't seen non-ethanol gas anywhere in probably a decade. Basically, you have to learn to deal with it, because even if you can find some local station once you go traveling you will almost certainly get ethanol, at least in the USA. Interestingly, 2-stroke oil seems to have some stabilization effect, so if you still have an old outboard it may continue to run OK, though I still recommend the blue StaBil.
