Maybe a fuelish question?
Just wondering if you get better mileage towing with premium gas that does not have alcohol in it over regular gas with alcohol?

Ethanol gets 20-25% lower mileage than pure gasoline. So if you are burning 85% gas/15% EtOH then you'd get 3-4 mpg less than pure gas. I think that's what the OP was asking.
What Premium does NOT have Ethanol? I thought the Feds legislated 10% in ALL gasoline.:h
We have several stations with premium non-ethanol but you pay a fine price for it. It seems to help the small engines last longer. I run it for the small generator for the house, chain saws, trimmers, blowers, my little ATV Mule and lawn mower.
Generally speaking non-ethanol will get you better mileage but the higher cost would offset that extra mileage.
