The list appears to be user updated.  Just because it is not on the list does not mean e-free stations are not around.  Oklahoma has a lot of stations that are not listed.  They are required to label the pumps by law here so you know what you are getting.

But, it bums me out, as I'm not a huge fan of the ethanol thing, I'm not convinced
it's the answer.



I'm positive ethanol is not the answer. Anything that uses more energy than it produces, and has to be subsidized to be 'viable' is not an answer - it's a problem.

I've never had a problem with a vehicle using it, except for slightly reduced mileage.

I don't know...my 2010 KTM SMT runs great on it. As did my 848, and my current 748.  waytogo

My 98 Monster wasn't fond of it.  But all I had to do was put the snorkels back in.

My 748 doesn't mind it either.

My new 01 ST4 hates it!  I had to have it reprogrammed and it's still not right.  I think anew chip will resolve that?

Some non-riding folks were telling me that modern cars will adjust their fuel injection settings depending on the fuel that they burn.  So if you started using a different type of gas, say with ethanol or without, the car would at first run more poorly, but then after a few tanks the fuel injection would adjust and the engine would run normally again.  I wonder if this would be the case for a fuel-injected Monster.  Thoughts?

There is such a thing as a "flex fuel vehicle that will run on gasoline, E10 or E85 due to the lack of availability of E 85.  Most late model cars will adjust to a fuel of lesser octane, but that is about it.
