In Illinois, I can not find a station that sells ethanol-less gas.
In Washington state you can get automotive fuel without ethanol at CFN (Commercial Fueling Network) stations. I do not believe that they are allowed to advertise the fact, but you can check by putting a small amount of fuel in a test tube and drawing a line at the top of the fuel, then you add some water and shake it up. If after you let the fluids settle... the fuel level under the water goes up... you have alcohol in the gas.
So you might check at CFN stations in Illinois, it could be a similar situation. Unfortunately, most of them are unmanned forcing you to open an account to use them. And the prices are usually a little higher than at normal retail gas stations.

Same here in Texas, where it’s almost impossible to find pure gas. Something stinks in Austin because there HAVE to be scads of people here in TX who want to buy pure gas. There must be some regulations here to favor ethanol at the pumps. Just across the border in Oklahoma, pure gas is everywhere.

In Indiana, 100% gas is labeled “Agricultural Fuel”, and nearly every co-op carries it, though at a higher price.
The pump also has to have a note on it saying “Not for use in motor vehicles”, to get around the EPA regs.
thanks...
there are 89 ethanol-free gas stations in Illinois.
