NY is always higher for fuel
Just like a bottle of 151.
USDOT regs mandate spark arrestor screens on portable fuel containers.
These single-use containers do not meet several other of the requirements, but the screens might have been added as a precautionary measure, as the result of some legal action (somewhere), or due to some regs coming down the road.
Just speculating.
We’ll see if they start showing on other products.
As far as re-use, it’s not that hard to pour fuel back through those screens, if you have a good funnel, or to cut an ‘X’ through them, if you have to.
Groups I’ve worked with drain fuel from the saws before storage, and those cans are used.

Is it sealed with any type of tamper-indicator?
Thanks

I couldn't tell ya. Never looked at it that close.
Ah damnit..... Now I'm curious also! May have to grab a can this week and have a look see.

That is odd because as of January 1, 2024
New York was #33 in state gas tax rate at $0.2568 per gallon.
Illinois was #2 at $0.6650 per gallon.
It’s the cost to get it to NY and the northeast . No pipelines and no refineries in the area propane is the same

Bottom line is, you pay the freight or you do without... Real simple.
Corn squeeze ethanol gas is cheap here in my area. High 2 dollar range for 87.
But nobody wants that crap for their OPE etc. So even our pumps that offer E10 E15 E85 with multiple choices. IMHO thats no choice at all for OPE.
I'll take my Efree pump any day over corn gas. Now thats the best choice for my boat and ope.

I cannot imagine living in an area that does not allow the sale of ethanol free fuel. Hell they sell off road diesel at the pumps here.

The only issue with your choice of fuel is if the dispensing pump has a single dispensing nozzle for the various products because whatever is left in the hose and nozzle from the previous customer, if they pumped corn squeezed fuel, you get the remainder pumped into your fuel can, which could very well be 'corn squeezed' ethanol fuel. If the pump has individual nozzles for each fuel, then it's not an issue of course. Around here, most pumps have a single dispensing nozzle. Where you are, I have no idea.

Around here, there are limited choices and the nearest choice is 20 miles away. My buggies don't care one way or another actually. Both are 'Flex Fuel' engines anyway not that I'd ever use E85 anyway because it's not an efficiently burning fuel and the price offset don't cover the loss in fuel mileage. Besides, that E85 sitting in the underground tank is most likely stale and phase separating from lack of use. E85 has a definite use life.
Some stations here sell off road diesel here too. Guess it’s because I live in farm country
I put a few gallons into my daily driver before putting the non e in a gas can . If it’s a single hose deal .
I dont know who you are referring too. But my Efree pump used 1 nozzle for Efree only.
Not that multiple BS like some have to use with 1 nozzle for everything. I would pump a good 2 gal of that BS set ups before I would feel safe. Then I would still test it when I get home.
Only takes a few seconds to test your fuels.
Efree shown and then one with CORN BS in it to show difference. Thats how easy to tell if you got corn BS in your gas.

Made an general statement as I haven't a clue as to how your dispensing pumps are set up. Different stations have different dispensing pumps with different nozzle arrangements within the same areas.
Far as ORD is concerned, here in Michigan, ORD red dyed diesel is exempt from road use tax and I have mine delivered by my fuel supplier as I own a 500 gallon bulk tank for fueling my farm tractors and it's typically 45-50 cents less than on road noit dyed diesel. Only difference is the added red die. They are both Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel as specified by the EPA for use in diesel engines.
Farmer across the road has a bulk tanks for everything.
I told him he needs to flush that dang E-gas tank out. Every time his saws come in I dump the fuel and the white GEL clogs my screen in my funnels.
I feel for his mowers etc. But I dont have to deal with those.
I think he is buying the efree now since I told him where it is at close to us.
Stihl dealer here uses china bosch in all of his stihl saws too.
