My question is how many of you use ethanol and how much would it hurt the car? I know they run fine on it, but I've heard it's harder on cars if they are adjusting to it for the first time.
Highly doubt it's really 93 octane. Probably closer to 91.

Our cars are built to run 10% ethanol no problem.

I'd rather run 93 octane with 10% ethanol than 91 octane without ethanol (which can be found is some areas like northern Wisconsin).
