I found the station on meridian in Puyallup but, they only have it in premium and I have heard that it is to high of octane for a 1988 merc. Any one know for sure if thats true?

I haven't checked all the CONOCO stations in the area, but the one I use most frequently is now selling fuel with ethanol. The port of Kennewick has a pump on the water at the yacht club that still sells ethanol free fuel. I'll be checking other stations in town this month . So much for a good thing.

Here in the Tri-Cities most of the stations, 76, Texaco, Chevron, Fred Meyer, Shell, Costco, etc. have ethanol in the fuel. I haven't paid attention to many other stations because if I don't have the boat with me, I don't worry too much about it. I have a station I stop at in Moses Lake that I pass on the way to Banks that is ethanol free and usually about the lowest price in town to boot. I fuel up there on the way to Banks and carry some of the Amsoil additive if I have to refuel somewhere else. With 50 gallons in the tanks, I can almost always go a full weekend with out refueling anywhere but here at home. Because Potholes and Scooteny are so close. I fuel up prior to leaving and when I return.

It is right off the 15th ST exit of 167. Head East, and its one of the first right hand turns, go about .5 miles and there's a huge sign on the left hand side.

Chris - where exactly is that station located?
Smitty - aren't most, if not all, gas stations in eastern Washington (except in Spokane and Moses lake) ethanol free?

Most of the Conoco stations over here on the "Dry Side" are ethanol free. If you can't find one, Amsoil has an additive that you can use which negates the effects of ethanol on your outboard. I just happen to know where you can purchase some.

Just wanted to bump this post back up. I went to The Fuel Farm station in Auburn and got some E free gas today. The boat doesn't run bad, but it should be beneficial to run Ethanol free, plus it was the same price as a local Shell.
