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?

Toyota Echo driving from Houston to Atlanta and back several times, I noticed a drop in mileage from 43 highway to 39 highway. I came to realize it was the alcohol in the gas. In this case, ten percent alcohol reduced mileage by ten percent.

That shows the danger of informal testing. You are saying that you got no energy from that 10% ethanol. Other factors like vehicle loading, driving style and wind might also affect the results.
At that rate running E85 in a Toyota Echo would return about 5 mpg or so?
