Noticed in the last 2 weeks,a couple of stations (Zooms on 198) has removed the
10% ethanol decales from there pumps,and switching back to the old stuff!
Asked the reason why.......Lost alot of the boating customers.
Ill check Pointers,sunnyside,and the 7-11 at Glens this week.:clap:

I hope this mentality spreads, I prefer non-e10 gas for my car and boat. In my truck I know for a fact I get better milage on non-e10 gas.

i just talked to the day manager of the zooms at hudgins. she says they still sell ethanol mix and don't have non-e. zooms has been bought by 7-11 effective 1 october and they expect to carry what all 7-11s carry.

I sure wish we could go back to the old gas.....Boy it costs a ton to repair the damage...I know from experience with my 2 strokes

A lot of VA has and almost all marinas on the NN sell non-eth. My 2 stroke has never had 10% ethanol in it.

I see they're re-installing the gas pumps at Grey's Pt. Anyone know what they will be selling?

No plans to sell gas yet just replacing the dock and building that had gotten in real bad shape.

There are quite a few stations selling non ethenol 93 octane, but regular and mid grade are still e-10. Rick's Country Store is one along with a few others around Gloucester.
