For those of you still running gas, it is my understanding that Sommers Cove Marina in Chrisfield has ethonol free gas this year.

Got a guy scraping the running gear and replacing the zincs as we speak. Don't know how far I will go though. BTW, did you see where the fireworks on the 4th were canceled?

You still have ethanol up there? You can not find a marina around here selling ethanol fuel. Most of them have banners proudly stating NO Ethanol!

It might be a new trend. Here in NC a lot of marinas say NO Ethanal
Keep you fingers crossed.

We were told out east that it was a distribution problem. No distributors would carry it. Not enough volume. I'd be very curious about the degree of improved performance with the non ethanol fuel.

Chesapeake Bat Basin in Kilmarnock, VA, on Indian Creek has non-ethanol for $4.25 as of yesterday. What prices are you guys seeing?

Rawleigh,
On my way to Chesapeake Boat Basin to pick up Ralphie's new boat and deliver to Carter Creek.
FIREWORKS CANCELLED??? Typical of that crowd. New owners never understood the value of their relationship with the locals. No wonder they're in financial doo-doo.
and so it goes.

There is a website that lists ethanol free gas. Www.pure-gas.org you can search by state.
