I did this experiment with my previous car (toyota solara). The car recommends 91 octane (but can take 87 with some engine output reduction/increase fuel consumption per owners manual). I put 91 un-oxygenated fuel when I was in Minnesota and I put 93 with ethanol when I moved to MI. No noticeable power difference, but 91 with no ethanol returns at least 2-3 MPG better on highway.
