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?

It depends on what the difference in price is.
If you get 10 MPG with E10 you're going to get about 10.3 to 10.5 MPG with straight gasoline. So if you are buying straight gas at around 3% more it will be about a wash. Less and you are golden and making money; more and you are wasting money, and losing power.
Doesn't really matter much anyway. Only a hand full of states and a handful of stations sell straight gasoline anyway.
As I said in my post, my results were consistently 10-12% better fuel mileage with 90 octane pure gas vs. 87 octane with 10% ethanol. I can't speak for other states, but I can say that pure gas is readily available in FL. There is an iPhone app called PureGas that will tell you where such stations are that sell this gas. Very helpful if you're interested.
