WOW! Why would anyone buy the gas with ethanol with those prices?

I have to wonder if the lower price for such "recreational" gasoline is due to no road tax, for use in boats, off road vehicles, lawn mowers etc. Here in Canada, typically ethanol free gas is only available in some brands of the higher octane premium blends, and a an increased price. If this recreational gas is cheaper, and street legal to use, sounds like a win win situation. I use ethanol free premium gas in my old carburated hot rod, as well as my generators, lawn mower and tractor, weed whacker, pit scooter, leaf blower, etc, to help prevent the corrosion in carbed fuel systems, that the ethanol can cause , especially in engines that sit for periods of time. My newer stuff is designed to use E10, the older stuff is not. Plus it seems that I get better gas mileage with ethanol free.

Does not say anywhere on the pump that it's "not for highway use".

Is it dyed like off road diesel? Can't imagine it includes highway motorfuel tax, anyone in Ohio know the law? Otherwise who that can use it would purchase the higher priced fuel with ethanol?
