Pure gas

[Bobberdown]

Can anyone tell me who is selling ethanol-free gas around town? I want to be nice to my two stroke engines. Thanks to RK for the pictures and information. When I have a bit more time and money I hope to learn to dive, although I have a hard time reaching the bottom of a deep swimming pool even with snorkle gear. The pressure gets to me. Hopefully a class would teach you how to get over that. I would enjoy seeing more of the lakes I fish.

That is a tough one. In most cases where a station has no ethanol, it will be in the premium grade. One of my last hold outs was Bennett's Sinclair at Airport Road in Middleton, but they are no longer pumping gas. I also have to check out if the Phillips 66 in Middleton across from Zimbrick VW has brought back no ethanol since their premium prices were up there with Bennett's. (Edit- this is confirmed. They are offering no ethanol in the premium blend).

I was told that the Cenex at Hwy 14 and Pleasant View road was no ethanol in premium. (Edit- this is confirmed. There are two pumping areas- Ethanol pumps and non ethanol pumps.) There is also an independent gas station on the east side on Cottage Grove road. (Edit- this is Waynes Automotive). There was a Citgo on Fordem Avenue that was ethanol free, but I don't know if that is still the case.

I would also recommend checking out Shell stations. A number of them throughout the state have their V-Power (93 octane) grade in a no ethanol blend, but is not always guaranteed.

For the list below, this is from some other forums. You will want to confirm if this is still the case:

Deforest- Casey's General Store
Madison Near West- Bill's Hildale Shell- University Avenue
Madison Far West- Citgo- Gammon Road and Odana
Madison Central- BP Station /M S Mart- 318 Park Street
Madison Central- Shell- 950 Park Street
Madison East- Seversons Citgo- Milwaukee Street and Fair Oaks
Madison East- Wayne's Automotive- 220 Cottage Grove Road.
Madison Far East- Avenue Shell- 4821 Annamark Drive
Madison North- Northport Shell- 1423 Northport Drive
Madison South- Sinclair- Park Street
Monona- "There's a station right on Monona drive just west of the golf course that advertises its gas as having no ethanol.
Verona- Citgo- 103 Prairie Oaks Drive
Windsor- Mobil

Waynes Automotive on Cottage Grove road is 100% ethonal free. There is also a bait store right around the corner (Harleys) by the Walgreens. Great minnows there. You can kill 2 birds with one stone before going out.

The shell station on Northport no longer sells non-ethanol gas.

The citgo station on T close to North Thompson Drive, east of the roundabouts sells 100% gas in premium.

Thanks, Wayne's it is for me. I do like the little bait shop in that liquor store. I don't think any shop compares to D&S in town, but for a few waxies or monnows it can be convenient. Too bad ethanol-free gas is getting hard to find; I like the concept of corn gas but we all run gas through too many engines to be pulling water into the fuel.

If you guys know of gas stations selling no-ethanol fuel, can you post information such as gas brand, station name, and address? I am creating a link on my web page for stations in wisconsin that are ethanol free. I'll post the link when I have this compiled.

Thanks.

Jim's BP has premium w' no ethenol. Close to launches on Mendota.

Wayne's is a good bet for the no ethanol gas and if you need some bait and tackle the Ace Hardware across the street sells bait and tackle in their lower level.

I think most of the citgo station have unleaded gas and also the bp station I think have it. Bye for now Tom

This problem is corrected really easily. As you're descending, pinch your nose and blow GENTLY into it. You'll feel your ears "pop". This is called equalizing, because it equalizes the pressure in your head to the pressure under the water. This can be done multiple times during a descent to keep you comfortable. If you can't get your ears to pop it's important to not go any deeper though.

Diving without a tank is called freediving. There's a few of us in the area that freedive the Madison lakes and other south central lakes. Usually we do some underwater spearfishing while we're out. I PM'd you with more info.

I think you replied to the wrong post. This topic is conversation of no ethanol gas.

And I think you didn't read the original post. Here's the part that you missed:

FYI, from last year, in case people are looking for places to get 100% pure gasoline (like me). -EM

Cenex in Middleton, as mentioned in a previous post, has a set of islands with ethanol-free gasoline. It's generally ten cents/gal more, and (despite what a previous reply implied) it's available in all three grades.
