Default Local Walmart Selling Ethanol-Free Gasoline!!

I think people are getting tired of burning corn in their cars,,,

A local Walmart added a gas station to the outer edge of the parking lot.
The Walmart has been there over a decade,, but, the fuel station has been open only a month,,

My SIL noticed the place is selling both 10% and ethanol-free gasoline.
The reason my SIL noticed the ethanol-free gas is that he has the


He puts ethanol-free gas in that tractor because the tractor is only used to pull the yard cart.
So, the tractor sets for long periods,,,
Mowing is done with a diesel.

The ethanol-free is only about $0.30 more than 10% ethanol gas price.
He did not notice the octane of the ethanol-free gas,,,
it might not be the 93 octane I put in the chain saw,,,

The 10% gas was priced lower than any local gas stations,,
that might be "attention-getter" pricing?
I had a 1993 Honda Accord that would get 15% better gas mileage when ethanol-free gas was used exclusively.
It has been a while since we have had low cost no-ethanol fuel available.
I wonder if our new Honda will give better mileage?? Hmmmmmm,,,,,,,

Anyone else notice Walmart selling ethanol-free gas,,,, YET!!??
