Default Gas stations without ethanol in Roanoke

I was wondering if anyone knew what gas stations in the Roanoke area had gas without ethanol. My 89 Mazda runs piss poor on gas with ethanol in it, and I read online that early EFI setups like the one in my truck dont handle it well.
Thanks in advance

There is a station in salem thats ethanol free, I believe it might be a Texaco? I could be wrong though. Its near the sheets on 419/apperson...right beside the divers shop.

Getting ethanol free fuel probably isn't going to do much to help if you've got issues otherwise....E10 *should* run in any standard engine without problems.

Well i figured i would start with this first after reading a few things around the web, but with the age of the truck im sure the fuel system needs a good run down anyway. With as bad as the plugs and wires were, i was upset that replacing them did almost nothing for the performace. I know it doesnt have much power to begin with, but i feel like it shouldnt be THAT underpowered, and it has no bottom end at all.

The Race Zone down at the end of the 4 lane after the school on Hardy sells ethanol free gas... And I'm pretty sure their sister store on 460, Raceway uses the same gas...
