100% gasoline (Mobile, Daphne, Atmore: price, move, farm)

[WAYNEYPOOH]

I have found one station that has 100% gasoline. The pride station at the intersection of hwy 27 and us 98 in baldwin county has pure gasoline, 89 octane, if anybody wants to know.

Corn ethanol is not efficient. Sugar cane ethanol is 8x more efficient than corn ethanol. We have a very strong corn lobby parked in DC, I wonder why high fructose corn syrup is literally in everything and corn ethanol gets chosen over sugar cane ethanol?

can get 100% gasoline at southern end of hwy 181 in Baldwin County

This.

I, personally, was really looking forward to the greenhouse effect, but now it's just global warming.

Most of the marinas in the bays around Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Bon Secour all have pure gasoline. But be prepared to open your wallet!

I was talking to a station owner recently, and he told me that the Feds now penalize any distributor who sells "real" gasoline. I have seen a handful of stations that sell both pure gas and gas/ethanol blends; they seem to be charging about 10 cents a gallon more for the pure stuff. I will GLADLY pay it and I think that EVERYONE deserves the OPTION to do so!!!!

Ethanol sucks in a lot of ways.

Ethanol has less power per volume (in the form of BTU's) than straight gasoline. This means that not only does your engine produce less power, it uses more fuel to go the same distance as pure gasoline would achieve.

If you do the math, ethanol blend fuel actually costs the consumer more money due to the lower mpg. It has also pushed up the cost of food due to the price of corn more than doubling in the last few years. This has made beef and poultry prices rise as well, since they consume corn.

It also does nothing for global warming when you're growing corn with the fertilizers and industrial farm machinery they use. If you compare the energy content of a gallon of gasoline compared to the equivalent of ethanol made from corn grown from typical American farming techniques, the gasoline has the smaller footprint, no jokes. The ethanol would only be worth it from an environmental perspective if they were using the farm waste that couldn't be used for anything else anyways, or maybe grass clippings or something. Until they do that, it's just welfare for the farm lobby.

Hi, New member here and first post.

I wanted to add to this thread. I am a member of a local fishing club. I maintain a Google Map for our members. It is for all the stations (that I know of) in Mobile and Baldwin Counties that sell 100% (ethanol free) gas. This is a link to it: www.g.co/maps/q3hd2 . I hope that you find it beneficial.

Pappa John's gas station in Spanish Ft. has 88 octane 100% gasoline. Last price I saw was $4.29/gal. Located on 31 near the 181 intersection, just west of 181 right outside the Timber Creek subdivision.

The station at the southern end of 181 almost where 98 intersects no longer carries 100% gasoline as of a few months ago.
