114 oct. toulene (already about 15% in pump fuel)------$20/gallon

115 (?) ethanol---------------------------------------------------$10/gallon

Bang for buck aside, I wonder what is easiest on the motor. And, what exactly is susceptible to deterioration with ethanol.

E100 is about 113 octane. If your goal is to hit 93 octane, using 22/78 race/pump gas your cost is at about 3.70/gal if you assume pump 91 is 3.00/gal.

9/91 toulene/pump is 4.50/gal

9/91 E100/pump is about 3.63/gal

This is just to get you to a safe octane rating. As we noted before, race gas will have more energy content than E100, so you'll make more power (and wear) on the race gas.
