for those that r worried about and pinch every mile out of a gallon of gasoline, ethanol blended fuel contains less energy which means less mpg. ethanol blended fuels was pushed by tree huggers and money fleecing politicians to market supposed cleaner burning fuels. gas stations in California are required to label their fuel pumps if they sale ethanol blended gasoline.
When I first joined this site. Someone here pretty much summed it up for me.
"If you are worried about the price of gas or "pinch every mile out of a gallon of gasoline""
Get another car

The money-fleecing politicians were paid by Archer-Daniels-Midland to influence their vote to force the use of ethanol in the gasoline pool to meet EPA requirements. MTBE was the better additive but uninformed public and criminally-negligent fuel tank owners killed that.
NO FOOD FOR FUEL!!! This is one of the contributors to higher grain prices, especially corn.

Ethanol is a cleaner fuel and will keep your internals clean.
Best MPG is your right foot.
Other than that the lower the altitude the higher your grade.
And once in a while put in some Techron.
The only put a little in the mid grade so if your not running Prem its just a waste of money.

Not this again
Both my car a 1985 & the 2013 can tell the difference in Reg. & Prem.
If someone is using the car and put Reg. gas in. I can tell right away

Thanks!
Nothing wrong with Techron, but if you'd just buy your gas from a Top Tier rated gas station, you won't need additives.
I'd try to explain it, but in person people usually give me a blank look when I try, so I'll link the Wiki:
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've used QuikTrip gasoline nearly exclusively for 20+ years. They have always added additional detergents, even before Top Tier became a thing. Its not simply another marketing gimmick as QuikTrip gas is usually the same price, if not lower, than a competitor across the street who sells the EPA detergent minimum fuel. If there is a Top Tier rated station near you, my advice is to use their gas. Ethanol too.

I could tell if I did not use Premium in my '05 Camry XLE, but I really could tell the ONE time my silly husband put mid-grade in Lil Red. UGH!
As soon as that tank got low, I put 93 in her and reinforced 
the need to fill her with Premium to the husband. He laughed and told me I was definitely the motorhead in the house. LOL! SMH...

The only ethanol-free gas I have access to is 87 octane.
I only use 93 octane, so ethanol-laden fuel is my only option. My lawn equipment gets ethanol-free
Also, around here, the ethanol-free is priced like premium.
