Gas with ethanol costs more to produce, costs in power and performance, and is one of the biggest ripoff ever forced on people by the US government. If you can afford it, always use non-ethanol.

X2 We have more oil than Saudi Arabia in shale etc, but instead of a middle eastern oil cartel(Opec), we now have a Mid West Corn cartel which is totally unnecessary. It's just another subsidized, useless bureaucracy that exists because it exists, and needs to be eliminated. Ethanol does up the octane a bit, but the oil companies took advantage and lowered the quality(octane) of the gasoline. The quality of the fuel is just junk, but I'm old enough to remember the Chevron 100 octane white pump. I'm not advocating to bring back lead, but to just get back to using corn for it's original purpose in life.

I remember he Cam2 racing fuel Some Sunoco's sold up north it was around $3.20 a gallon when regular leaded gas was around $1.00 a gal but if you had a real muscle car with 10-1 to 11-1 compression it was the way to go since real Octane booster was hard to get. Those days are over I had a 1970 Dodge Coronet 500 during those days with a 383 I pulled out of a Super Bee in it with a bullet proof 727 Torque Flight trans, I miss that car real raw HP it could have towed my TT even being a Mid size car in those day.
