Puregas.org
It has all the gas stations that I know
about listed, so I consider it accurate.

There is a web site you can go to-
Puregas.com or something like that - it will give you a list of gas stations
that carry unadulterated gas.

Wouldn’t it be cool
if you had a choice of ethanol-enhanced and non-ethanol at gas stations?
They could charge more for non-ethanol if you like, but reserve at least one
pump per station for non-ethanol gas. Would that be difficult?
Perhaps it could even be done on a station by station basis, just through
personal contact, at least starting with the independent station owners.

You could be right on that. It
surely won't hurt to put a little pressure on the FAA to find/approve an
alternative aviation fuel. Personally, I would be happy if they would
make premium auto fuel ethanol free.
On another note, with the time it takes
for things to work their way through the court system, it will be years before
this gets resolved. The oil companies can afford to hire the
best attorneys.
This may not be all bad. It could
cause Swift fuel and that stuff GAMI is making to be approved. Swift fuel
costs about $2/gal and will not go up and down in price like Avgas. You
could pay more for it since it is about 8% more fuel efficient.

In case any of you missed this...
who's next?
California Suit Targets
100LL
A California
environmental group has served notice it will sue more than 40 suppliers of
avgas in the state to force them to stop selling it. TheCenter for Environmental Healthhas
given a legally-required 60 days of notice to all the major oil companies
that sell 100LL and the FBOs that pump it at 25 airports to stop. "The
oil and aviation industries need to know Californians will not tolerate lead
pollution that threatens our health and healthy environments," Michael
Green, executive director of CEH, said in a statement. "We expect the
industries to take immediate action to eliminate pollution that endangers
children and families who live, work and play near airports across the
state." CEH cites a 2008 EPA reports that show
avgas is polluting the air and in some cases groundwater around airports with
piston traffic.
CEH notes
that Van Nuys Airport, one of the busiest GA airports in the U.S., shows
the highest level of lead pollution of more than 3,000 airports covered in
the report. As we've reported and commented on extensively, the EPA is now
considering its options in dealing with 100LL in response to a petition from
Friends of the Earth. The CEH route is a little more direct. It alleges
violations of the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act.
Protesters recently staged a small rally outside Santa Monica Airport
complaining about lead pollution.
