Why would you even want too? I've never even seen E-30 at a gas station in my life, must be a Midwest thing.

Straight gas is always the best choice.
We try to buy straight gas eventhough it means paying more and lower octaine. We've noticed much worse gas milage with the 10% ethanol crap... sorry wilson.

e-30 is fine think about it they don't change part's it's to cost prohibiting. e-30 is fine if e-19 is it's only 11% more.
Don't worry about the lower octane. You are actually paying for higher octane gasoline rather than lower octane gasoline mixed with ethanol to "boost" the octane. See, ethanol is less volatile than gas, which gives its high octane (more resistant to detonation). Because of this, lower octane gasoline can be used and then mixed with ethanol in order to achieve that octane rating that you see at the pump. For example, say you are paying for gas that is 10% ethanol and 87 octane, the actual gas that is not ethanol is lower than 87 octane and the ethanol that is added is of higher octane which balances out to 87. Now, if you buy 87 octane with 0% ethanol, you are paying 100% for 87 octane gas.
In shorter terms, **** ethanol.
The only reason the ford motor company says you can't put anything over 20% in a non flex fuel is the epa has not approved it. It's funny the epa allows are truck's to be built.
the 6.2L engine will run fine on ethanol blends, it does no damage to the engine, the problem is the fuel system, ethanol is caustic and eats away at the rubber in the fuel system, such as the o-rings and fuel lines, there is nothing wrong with telling people ethanol is a good fuel, it is, beyond 100 octane, it's far cheaper to run ethanol than gasoline, and as long as you have the fuel system made for it, there is no harm to be done, but wilson, you should make sure everyone you recommend E-blends to knows that the fuel system wasn't made for it and that it requires tuning for blends over a certain percentage, but it is a simple modification to convert over to an ethanol fuel system
