There are still quite a few non-e places around the lake....I also remember seeing one a few months ago on 280 somewhere near Sylacauga. If you do burn the ethanol stuff, don't leave it in the tank for a long time as it will absorb water and octane rating will also drop. Make sure your older tank is compatible (it's not just the hoses). Older engines also have issues burning e-gas; I have an 89 BMW that sometimes coughs and sputters when I'm forced to feed it e-gas, and that's even the premium grade.
