Ethanol ???

[Flavor 987S]

Octane rules. I'd rather use 93 octane with 10% enthanol than 91 octane pure gas.

To MonneyPit, until you've tested the fuel, you have no clue as to the alcohol level. I bought a test kit last year, and saw all kinds of crazy. I trust nobody as to "pure gas" claims. Testing octane, is much-much harder and very $$$$. So I just trust the retialer to be ethical, and only buy from major national chains (Mobil, BP and Shell).

As a side note, when I was testing my fuel for alcohol content, most was in the 5% range. All were below 10%. Very common to 8-9%. Which makes sense because of the cost of alcohol and they need to meet the claim at the pump for being "no more than 10%". So, I assume the shoot for 8-9% as not to exceed the 10%.

Can you by ethanol at the gas station "over there"?

Over here its called E85 since its 85% ethanol and 75% in the the Winter.
Cars with turbo or Really High compression benefits from the 102 octane that E85 has.

Your miles to gallon is out the window, but the prize is lower so its nearly same same
