Surprising, there are a lot more stations listed on there than there used to be. Although a few years back i checked the closest one it showed for my area and it didnt in fact have ethanol free gas. Currently the closest one listed is about 15 miles out of my way. only 2 places around me within 20 miles, on the lake and one by cleveland, just easier to drive to O'rielly or tractor supply 5 miles away and get some and Star tron.

I keep three racing fuel jugs in the bed of my truck in a rack. Whenever I am going by our two local fuel stop that carries non-ethanol I fill ‘em up. Run my Honda Pioneer on it and my mower.

Perhaps the best advice you can get, or give to friends, is to keep your tank as full as possible. If you do that, then it will minimize any moisture absorption from the air, minimize the "breathing" effect of having a large empty volume in the tank, and reduce the amount of condensation and rusting on the insides of the tank. If you have problems with clogging, first run some of the carburetor cleaners thru it, then change brands of gasoline. The change is because each brand advertises their "additives" that work so much better than the other guys. Some of those may be coming out of solution. Kinda hard to do that on boat with a 95 gallon tank. I used ethanol free in it for a while but with the Mercury Optimax it does fine on regular 10% ethanol. On my 2 cycles I use ethanol free. The problem with ethanol is the aquarium lines (that is what my boat mechanic called them). Ethanol causes them to get hard. I have found that even the ones that are rated for ethanol get hard. Ethanol is commonly used to boost octane so ethanol free gas is normally 87. That has been my experience with it. I do not worry too much about ethanol these days as long as fuel lines are rated for it.

Tygon fuel line is a lot more resistant to Ethanol.

The new QT by my house has non-ethanol.  No more fighting the Walmart loons.

I saw that this weekend myself when I stopped at a QT for the first time. My gas powered appliances, the Toyo & the Scrambler will be getting nothing else.

we got a QT in our area about a year and a half ago, to which I have been buying ethanol free gas (90 octane I believe) for all our gas powered lawn equipment (mowers, weed eaters, blowers, chain saws, pressure washer, generator, etc.) and our wake boat. Prior to switching, I was continually having to jack with, clean or replace carburetors almost annually. I haven't had to touch one piece of equipment since switching in that regard and all normally fire right up after sitting for long period of time between usage. From here on out, I will only use the ethanol free gas in anything gas powered other than our vehicles which get used regularly enough to not have issues.
