If you want ethanol free gas, go to an industrial chemical supply store and ask for 2,2,4 trimethylpentane. CAS #540-84-1 Earlier in this thread Mexicowander also referred to it as alkylate. Alkylate is the standard which motor fuel uses known as octane. It's really iso-octane. It has a MON (Motor Octane Number) of 100 and an RON (Research Octane Number) of 100.

Bought in larger quantities it should be fairly cheap.
