Anyone know of a GOOD list of stations which sell clear premium (i.e. non-ethanol 92 octane)? I've done some googling, and I'm not impressed with the list I've found. Many of the listed stations are either distributors or card-lock operations (both of which are useless to me), and on the other hand my run of the mill Chevron in North Plains, who sells it, appears on NO lists that I can find. Or maybe just crowd-source a list here? My Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 has major vapor lock issues with ethanol, so I'm trying to run non-ethanol as much as possible. I'll start: Chevron, North Plains OR-- https://www.gasbuddy.com/station/10841
Don, have you tried pure-gas.org? It lists quite a few places in OR, although I didn't see any for North Plains.
That's one of the sites I'm complaining about. In addition to not having my North Plains Chevron (who has a big sign advertising it-- not exactly stealth), most of those stations are card lock, or boat marinas, or fuel distributors. Not open to the public, at least if you're in a car.
https://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=OR It is user based, you can contribute your Chevron station to improve the site. Not sure of the requirements, but I don't think it would be an issue to join Pacific Pride and get a card lock key: https://www.pacificprideusa.com/howtojoin.html
Pacific Pride is for "commercial" users only. If you have managed to sign up as a private car owner, I'd be interested in hearing about it. I take it you don't have any issues finding non-ethanol premium in Washington? You guys might have less ridiculous fuel standards than we do, although I believe most (or all) of Oregon's gasoline comes from the refinery in Tacoma.
I was going to mention Cenex, but when I looked at Oregon locations, it looks like they would be a little out of your way. I'm lucky because we have a Cenex right in town. I think they can do ethanol free because they service ag customers. It's amazing because they also price cheaper than the usual chain stations. It's good to use in your outdoor equipment as well.
I have not signed up, but have a few friends that have. Since they don't run large companies, I can only assume the have a business license of some sort and used that as a way to get the card(s) issued. Pure gas is not super easy to find in WA either, most sellers are rural. I see many sellers in Portland, OR. There are only a couple in Seattle, one just down the street from me, but they only offer mid grade. I really have no need for it, so have only purchased on very rare occasions. Outside of Seattle, I have purchased a few times from a Cenex.
I think the problem for a lot of these guys is that they have to have a complete separate tank for the E0 fuel. A typical corner gas station just doesn't have the room for a whole separate tank setup.
Don't know how convenient it is for you, but the Union 76 just east of the N Wilsonville exit off I-5, 8605 SW Elligsen Rd, Wilsonville, OR 97070 has clear premium. Just 1/2 block from Ron Tonkin Gran Turismo.

True, to get an account with Pac Pride you have to own a business with a tax ID, but there is also a minimum about per month you must purchase. As I recall it was around $500 a month. S. WA has a few of non ethical locations. I have one about a mile from my house. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Not sure what the laws are or what the logistics are but could you get a bulk type tank installed at your house and get gas delivered in bulk every month or two. Just trying to think out side of the box.
A check shows that it doesn't look like you have many Conoco stations available in Oregon. Some of them here in Central WA have non Ethanol General Store – Toppenish 505 West First Ave. Toppenish, WA 98948 Smitty's Conoco Cafe 3508 Fruitvale Blvd, Yakima, WA 98902 They usually have non ethanol premium.
There is a Union 76, 1376 Mohawk Blvd, Springfield, OR 97477 that sells it. I need to remember to fill up on Lawnmower gas, and hopefully not have to keep cleaning the carb every year.
