[ale] [OT] - Ethanol-free gas in the Atlanta area?

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Nice sites.  Thanks.  Not much help to me though.  No pure 87 octane 
anywhere near me.  Larger cities are most notably missing from the lists.

If I filled up the car with ethanol free gas, I could drive down, park my car at her place/ride with her for the weekend, get in the car, and drive back on one tank of gas.  The light would come on just before I came into Tuscaloosa.  If I used ethanol gas, that light would come on about 30-40 miles south of town.  I repeated this experiment several times with near-identical results.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
