So what you seem to be saying is rating (burn starter energy), by whatever means (ethanol, whatever), is more important and the actual energy content doesn't matter much with a blower. In fact, the rational for the 91 oct. sects belief system is opposite to that which you are suggesting for this app.
Interesting about e-gas. I've not seen it...but I haven't looked either. What is it likely to dissolve?
