The local airport stocks mogas without additives, which is a huge boon
to people like me who don't want to put the alky-diluted stuff in our
small engines (snowblower, lawnmower, chainsaw) where it can literally
gum the works. It was four dollars a gallon last time I brought the
stuff home, but I don't use that many gallons in a year.


I believe out here in California its illegal to sell mogas w/o the
ethanol.
