Yes, it is possible to buy mogas without ethanol or any of the other
additives. The self serve pumps at Platte Valley in Colorado have it.
They buy it from the refiner.
The additives are mandated in the southern three counties of New
Hampshire (where the population is, and proximity to Massachusetts).
The rest of the state pumps real gasoline and presumably will continue
to do so. The same is true of Maine.
Gasahol has turned up in Campton NH in the last week. Prolly to cut the number
of types of fuel to be delivered.
It is state law, not federal, that makes these rules. I believe there
is a Northeast compact between New York and the New England states on
the matter. Unsure what it takes to lift it, but note that the New
Hampshire legislature meets only one year out of two ...
They are meeting at the moment, and generating more bad laws.
