Greg,

I don't mix my gas.  I want ZERO ethanol in my Legacy tanks.  It may not
melt them, but I will not take a chance with it.

On the drums...I have mounted a couple of drums on a small trailer that I
use to haul gas.  I have run into one station already that will not allow
gas to be pumped into an "unauthorized" container.  I suspect that this will
only get worse.
If you build a rig to haul gas, I suggest you get an "authorized" container
instead of drums like I did.  I may yet have to change.

Checked Nevada, 7 stations all within hours of Northern/southern CA.  I can
make the one in Stateline in 4 hours, with 3-50 gal drums.  Enough to fly
for a while, especially if you were to mix it with local gas.  Any ideas on
a decent mix ratio?

Interestingly one of the 3 California sources is a Shell ... you might want
to check with your closest Shell dealer to see what their pumps say and of
course test the gas yourself ... up here, all Shell stations offer V-Power
(91 octane) premium with zero ethanol ... it is possible that more of your
Shell stations do as well but just don't appear on the pure-gas website.
Shell's 87 has 10%, 89 has 5% and 91 has 0% - at least here in Ontario
Canada.

The pure-gas.org lists only 3 sources in all of California.  I've checked
the local marinas around San Diego, and the response I get is "all fuel in
CA contains 10 % ethanol".

I've tested the fuel I've been buying at the local Chevron stations, and it
has 10% ethanol. I've been using that fuel almost exclusively for 5 years in

my Velocity (EZpoxy tanks), and am not aware of any problems sp far.  It
does cause me some anxiety, however; so I'm considering more extensive use
of 100LL.

Seems ironic - one good reason for using mogas is eliminating the lead
pollution; which the regulators are trying to achieve; and then they
regulate the requirement for ethanol in the fuel which makes that a bad
choice as well.  Typical bureaucratic lose-lose situation.
