Are you kidding?
Yes ethanol is high octane but it takes a whole lot more of it to fuel a car vs straight gas.

Ask anyone running e85 how much more fuel they go thru?
How about the corrosive properties?
How about the fact that it turns into slime in carburetors in under a month?

If you go from gas to ethanol you need more fuel to run correctly.....it is proven over and over. ( if your fuel injection is setup to make those changes fine but if its not than your going to be running lean).

Ethanol sucks in every way except racing applications as noted. Wilson or his local buddies somehow profit from it so he's pushing it as if it's the latest greatest thing.

91 , or 93 if i can find it

 

[dewalt]

E 10 and a can of sea foam for the hangover the motor has. No problem to work with it if you want to.

91 , or 93 if i can find it

I find 91 nowhere in sight. Just 87, 89, 93. But I still mix my special brew of 91 by a little alchemy. Takes a bit longer at the pump though, and I bet people are wondering what I am doing.
