Me being an East Coast person would somebody please explain the gas ratings in the Mid West. I'm refering to the regular (87 Octane) vs the Plus (89 Octane)It blows my mind pulling up to the pumps and seeing the Plus grade 10 or 15 cents cheaper than regular. I know its because the Plus has more Ethanol(% anyone?) The second thing that peaks my curiosity is who uses Plus? My owners manual on my V-10 engine and on my 4 cyl chevy engine state 87 octane is to be used.
Is anybody using this in a V-10 and if so do you see any consequences

chances are you're seeing 87-octane straight gas and 89-octane gasohol selling for less than the 87. I've encountered that several times. using the 89 in your engine won't damage it but i'll bet you'll get better mileage on straight gas. your choice.
