I would consider getting fuel at Buc-ees near you.
I‘d run the 92 octane ethanol free fuel.
Turbo motors love ethanol, the M96 hates it.
I wish the Buc-ees near me sold ethanol free fuel.

Concern about additives
My concern with bucces would be the additives.
when I was at Conoco and we tested fuel additives all the times Techron was great but we found out that off price brands where just meeting minimum standards. Remember the way fuel works is all the same, the just blend the additives at the terminal, Yes i have sizable investment in Phillips 66. Largest refiner In The Us, ConocoPhillips Is just an upstream company now, production and exploration.

I have 93 octane ethanol free near me(independent station so I don’t know the brand. They also sell 100octane race fuel, but it’s twice as much) The car definitely prefers the ethanol free. I get a noticeable performance bump and my mileage goes up about 10%.

The only place that I have to purchase ethanol-free gas is in Allentown, PA which is about 39 miles away from where I live in the People's Republic of New Jersey....However, there is a certified IMS installer in that area, so an installer that follows the strict code of procedures and maintains the certification must be reliable and worth the drive as the nearby indy at 28 miles away had their certification removed.

Similar story. Grew up in north Jersey never thinking i’d leave. Ended up moving to NY, TX, Illinois, Ok, Illinois again, TX again, CT, PA and then back to NJ. Yes taxes are high, but lots of people in a small place require lots of services. It’s an acquired taste for sure, welcome home.
