I live near Harrisonburg VA there is about 5 or 6 places here that sell it, however on a trip it is pretty much impossible for me to find it without going out of my way. Southern states a petroleum distributor here has it at their pumps and I assume the local independent stations probably buy it from them. averages 10 to 20 cents more per gallon here. Best advice I have is Google it to find your local stations that sell non ethanol gas.

 

Ethanol-free gas stations in the U.S. and Canada

 

Here they put 10% ethanol in the gas. The non-ethanol gas price is more than 10% higher than the ethanol gas. So if you get 10% less mpg with ethanol gas, it still isn't worth the extra $$$ for non-ethanol gas. I'm talking from a mpg aspect only.

 

For me it adds up to about the same cost per mile but I run it regardless! according to my Mechanic/Friend it is better for the engine and fuel system.

 

I agree! Plus you can get more miles out of a tank...if that's important.

 

With 80mph your desired speed, that long hill up to Asheville, 31mpg is pretty good.

The Fit with its small displacement isn't the best mpg highway car, a Civic would actually be better suited.

I've cruised to FL several times this year. keeping it around 75 on 75 I can manage 34mpg.

In the FL Keys where it's flat and speeds are a constant lazy 45mph it'll do 40+mpg all day...

My daily drive around Atlanta has changed from mostly freeways (36mpg) to mostly suburban stop and go 45mph 4-lanes roads (30mpg).

It's a good little car but won't work miracles.

 

 

I spent time there in '75 and '76 as a kid attending Camp Highlander.
