I continue to be amazed that non-alcoholic fuel is so much more expensive than the alcoholic variety in some locations.  I wonder if these stations only sell non-alcoholic gasoline in higher octane versions.  Here (Oklahoma) and other places where I have bought it, alcohol free runs a few cents higher at a given grade than the alcoholic stuff.  Stations I buy from generally have only non-alcoholic or only alcoholic, and offer three grades.  I did see a Seven Eleven in Oklahoma City a few days ago that had ethanol free only in the highest grade, I think it was 93 octane.  It was about a dollar higher than 87 octane, but only 7 cents higher than alcoholic 93 octane.  I buy only 87 octane in this part of the country.  At high altitudes I notice that octane rating for regular may be 85, but the alcoholic/non-alcoholic price ratio is usually similar to what I see at home.
