    It’s not illicit to put non ethanol gas in any vehicle, and even if it were would you actually expect gas stations to confirm the type of vehicle that’s getting fuel for every transaction before the customer is allowed to swipe their card and fill up?

    You may be confusing ethanol free gas with off road diesel, which is basically just lower taxed and not dyed. Even then it’s not up to the gas station to police who buys it.

      I think actually I was thinking the extra-high octane gas labeled ‘for collector vehicles only’.

        Ah okay I’ve not come across that one myself. It’s also possible certain states have different regulations (if we are talking about the US).

          It prevents knocking in sensitive vintage vehicles, which were designed for leaded gas, too. That article also covers why ethanol can be harmful for them.
