pure-gas.org is a site dedicated to one, simple task: to list the gas stations in the U.S. and Canada that serve ethanol-free gasoline. Many cars, motorcycles, boats, aircraft and tools have engines that run worse, or have parts that deteriorate, when run on gasoline that contains ethanol. In addition, ethanol leaves residue on valves and other parts that can hinder performance.

Need more gas?
Regardless of the size of your gas tank, you may eventually find yourself running low on fuel and long on trip to the next fueling station. Or for the chopper scene out there, you may deliberately be opting for a smaller than average tank. An obvious issue when going for a small, yet awesome looking, gas tank is that it doesn't hold as much fuel as the behemoth tanks commonly found on the big twin motorcycles.
When going on a long run, such as perhaps during Memorial Day weekend, you could find yourself needing a bit more "go juice" in between gas stations.
One possibly remedy is something such as the MSR Fuel Bottle, which can be had for anywhere between $15 - $20 depending on size and where you purchase it at. Generally used for camping stoves, you should be able to find them at a camping supply store or even online at retailers such as Amazon or Outdoor Play. There are other brands to choose from as well.
And what do you do with said fuel bottle now that you have it? Fill it with your favorite high octane fuel of course and find some way to strap it to your death machine. I recommend putting it in a place where it won't take a stray bullet in case you are in a shootout.
One fancy way of putting it on your bike is to use a cool custom leather harness, such as those made by one of the several leather smiths out there on the internet. Alternatively, you could try your hand at making it yourself, as demonstrated on this Chop Cult post by 52rigid.
Here's a picture of a La Rosa saddle bag with a fuel bottle holder already installed.
Now please, try your best not to get stranded.
