I was in last weekend and asked about the ethanol. They get their gas from Portland which supplies the non-ethanol gas. I found this out last year.
They also mentioned about having the label if it was ethanol. I mentioned about some testing that supposedly was done on their gas. Their comment was the only way they would get it is if Irving added ethanol to the tank from Portland dropped a load at Irving in Meredith, for eample and dropped of the rest at Center Harbor. To them they are still buying non-ethanol gas. I say this because on Oct 22nd they are switching over to ethanol. Don't think they would pull any fast ones if they have specfic date to switch. I have been buying gas from them for years and they know I use it for my boat.
They also mentioned that a lot of marinas have already switched over.

The big question now is how do you handle winter storage of boats now when everything gets changed over. I can't see pumping out the tank. Where would you put it and I have a small tank(40gal).

P.S. I don't know any of the persons at Irving personally, just a customer.
