You have to be careful though. Just because a station advertises that it's gas is 100% ethanol free does not mean that it is. The quickest test is to ask an attendant where their gas comes from. Most of them will say "Well, it's Chevron gas, which is ethanol free." This is false. Chevron does no produce or distribute ethanol free fuel. There are testing kits, if you really care about it. Even ethanol free fuel will contain cleaners, but it's always a good idea, in a vehicle and an engine as picky with the carb as the GZ is, to add an aftermarket cleaner every couple of tank fulls.
Interesting article here about ethanol and its potential damaging effects on engines and the pocket!:
