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

[Beddingfield, Allen]

Ah, the second one is exactly what I needed!  I had been looking around on the first one, but as you noted, was not familiar enough with the little town names.
The collective knowledge and usefulness of the info on this list once again is proven ;)
Ethanol free is all I use in my mowers, tillers, etc..., and I have been trying to use it exclusively in my Jeep.  
I made an observation a few years back regarding this topic.
Before the current vehicle, I had a 2008 Volvo S60 2.5T.  At the time, I was dating someone near Pensacola.  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.

At least two different web sites track stations that sell real gas.

Have used the first though the second may be more useful to an out of town'er
not familiar with city names. Oh, anyone not aware of the difference.
lawnmowers, weedeaters and chainsaws love real gas. And you can safely leave
it in the tank at the end of the season unlike ethanol which will fill an
aluminum carburetor full of white sludge.
