Specifically, the ability to filter stations out of the list by various criteria (in my case, by the octane rating of the ethanol-free fuel they have available would be the most valuable filter), and it would be nice to see the prices of the ethanol free fuel each station sells in the app directly ### 2/5 — Totally incomplete *2026-02-09* This app is a great idea but the execution is atrocious. The list is incomplete and appears to never be updated. There is a local gas station that has operated for decades and sells ethanol free fuel (the only one in the area that does) that isn’t on this list and there appears to be no mechanism by which someone could submit the new location. If the developer isn’t going to update the list, they should at least let others do so! ### 3/5 — Map filter needed for E0 87 octane *2026-01-11, version 3.0* When in the Map view, if we click the station add a way to show us the details that would be in the list view for that station. I only want Regular grade Ethanol free and a filter to clear out the Premium only stations. Reduced to 3 stars because if my location is turned off the app will not show stations as I zoom into the area I’m located. I needed to try this method so that I could see a smaller list of stations to try and find Regular E0. ### 3/5 — Was a good app *2025-12-07* I used to rely on this app for planning my trips, but the latest update prevents you from looking past say maybe 30 or 40 miles. This puts me in a big disadvantage if I’m planning a trip. Furthermore, I wanted to report an error and now I can’t do that anymore. Please bring those features back. Restricting views to your immediate area is counterproductive. ### 3/5 — Only Whole Numbers Work *2025-11-28, version 3.0* App worked great a year or so ago.. now, it won’t take a decimal point, so tracking miles, price and gallons have to be rounded.. not very accurate.. put it back the way it was, please! Still, map function lets me find stations, which is nice when traveling out of my local area. ### 3/5 — Good, but Updates needed *2025-10-19, version 3.0* Very helpful app to not gum up my carbs with government gas. Need some updates: -user reviews/comments of stations -ability to add new stations by users -ability for users to submit a station for removal if it doesn’t have ethanol free or closed ### 4/5 — Nice upgrade *2025-09-02, version 3.0* Been using this for a few years. It’s really evolved nicely. Great that the octane is now added. Would be 5 stars if there was an option to include/update prices as GasBuddy does for fuels. ### 2/5 — Lots of Dead Ends *2025-08-07, version 3.0* Have been using app for past few years Lots of unreliable locations that wind up being ghosts Have following directions on a number of times to non existent locations Definitely use with a grain of salt in terms of accuracy 4.6 stars…, not ### 2/5 — MPG No Longer Shown *2025-07-21* The new UI is great except that it no longer shows me what my MPG is for my tank of gas when I enter it into the log. The previous version of this app used to show it and had a color gradient based on how good it was. I also used to be able to enter gallons and price of gas in exact numbers. That is gone. Now the app automatically rounds the numbers to decimal places. Please bring the old functionality back! ### 3/5 — Can’t add new places *2025-07-20, version 3.0* How do we add new places? A few have popped up with non-ethanol and I am unable to add said station(s). ### 4/5 — Needs update of newer locations *2025-07-13, version 3.0* Will definitely be using this app more, now that I have a ‘61 classic car. The app needs to be updated though because I see stations around me on your website but they aren’t listed in the app. ### 2/5 — App not working *2025-07-09, version 3.0* My app is throwing an error message and is not usable for the past few days error 13. Whatever that means, it used to work great. ### 1/5 — Got NOTHING *2025-07-08, version 3.0* List wouldn’t download ### 1/5 — Error *2025-07-07, version 3.0* Not working ### 1/5 — App Broken *2025-07-07, version 3.0* Not sure what happened, but now I'm getting a "zipfoundation.archive.archiveerror error 13" whenever I try to load up my area. Too bad I, really enjoyed the app ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-07-06, version 3.0* Installed app, but map view doesn’t show any stations and list view shows only zip error 13. iPhone 15 with all updates installed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor *2026-05-15, version 3.1* This is nothing but a phone book. No octane or pricing info. ### 1/5 — Lacking… *2026-04-04* This app was basically dead for a long time- held hostage by an incompetent developer. It’s more functional now- but still incredibly aggravating to use. You get a map view or you get a list view. The list view provides some station detail and is arranged by ascending distance- but has no direct mapping function. The map view lays out stations relative to your location- but provides NO detail about the station itself. So each view provides a critical detail in a completely separate and basically useless manner. ### 1/5 — no contact method *2026-01-18, version 3.0* no way to contact developer, website is shut down but domain is available if someone wants it! just trying to report a bad GPS for a station near me. could be useful but bad data equals FAIL. ### 1/5 — Imbeds its self in phone *2025-11-02, version 3.0* Can’t uninstall once you get it ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2025-10-11, version 3.0* Stopped at too many gasoline stations that app says had ethanol free gasoline only to have none available. ### 1/5 — Accuracy *2025-10-06, version 3.0* Quite a few gas stations that DO sell ethanol free gas are not listed. We used to have the option to update information on fuel grades or whether the fuel availability has changed, looks like now we cannot. So, unless the developer is going around the country validating information, the app is going to be obsolete before too long! ### 1/5 — No Search Feature *2025-09-13, version 3.0* App is ok except I can not look for a gas station near my destination before I get there. Ethanol free fuel is not legally sold around me so the app is fairly useless. ### 1/5 — App refuses to load *2025-07-10, version 3.0* Every time I open the app it says archive error and refuses to show any results ### 1/5 — Love the app, but not working *2025-07-10, version 3.0* List returns an error. Before that great app ### 1/5 — 😔 *2025-07-09, version 3.0* App no longer functions ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Map filter needed for E0 87 octane *2026-02-23, version 3.1* The Map View needs a filter to I only show Regular grade Ethanol free. When we click a station in the Map view, add a way for use to see the details of the station in addition to the mapping directions. ### 5/5 — Map filter needed for E0 87 octane *2026-02-01* I only want Regular grade Ethanol free and a filter to clear out the Premium only stations. When in the Map view, if we click the station add a way to show us the details that would be in the list view for that station. ### 5/5 — 1970 Mustang 302 4V *2025-08-25, version 3.0* Great app. My 1970 Mustang 392 4V runs much better on non-ethanol and now I can easily locate it with this app. Noticed an improvement in idle, lower engine temp, smell, and less exhaust gunk once I got off of E10. ### 5/5 — Map filter needed for E0 87 octane *2025-08-13, version 3.0* The new app design is very nice. Since many stations only offer ethanol free with the premium fuel, it would be nice to have a filter to show the stations that have ethanol free regular fuel. ### 5/5 — Cool App but how can I add legit spots for ethanol free gas into the app? *2025-03-07, version 3.0* Here is another ethanol free pump 91 octane: Shell station red pumps 6329 Pacific Ave Tacoma WA 98408 That would be cool if I could submit places that could be reviewed and verified to improve the experience for us users?? I like this app allot! ### 5/5 — The best alternative *2025-02-10* For those who are unaware, this app may lack some fancy features, but the developers are not making money from it. I would rather a simple app that provides the exact data needed than an app with lots of fluff. I have tried reaching the developers to provide financial support for the product, but never got a response. 5/5, engineers do things best! ### 5/5 — Deathanol-Free Gas value 5 Star *2023-06-09, version 2.9.5* Great to avoid diluted not so green gas, especially in blue states. Res states where the stuff is produced give freedom of choice, interestingly. App needs basic functions like search & filters. Pricing would also be a plus. ### 5/5 — Not accurate *2023-05-10, version 2.9.5* I’m in central Ontario Canada and the App claims to find ethanol free gas in New York, Iowa and Pennsylvanian but claims that the stations are only 112 miles away, even straight line is a lot more then the listed mileage ### 5/5 — Absolutely outstanding. 100% worked. User submitted stations! *2023-05-04* I love the fact that I literally just opened it up and 2 seconds later I’m looking at a gas station near me with ethanol free gas. It said “submitted by BoringJim” so I assume WE are the ones that actually make this app grow, but it’s not too intuitive in the app on how to actually submit an ethanol free gas station. Probably for the best tho cuz of trolls. XD All in all, this app is gonna save a lot of wear and tear on my equipment AND the gas won’t go bad if it’s sitting around for a few months or technically forever because ethanol free gas doesn’t go bad! Thanks PureGas. You guys are really great and helpful!!! ### 5/5 — Works As Intended *2022-09-02, version 2.9.5* I wanted ethanol free fuel, I found it. In a fraction of the time it took me searching google and maps. No frustration. No confusion.
