On my way back from MO the other day I stopped at a gas station that had 91 octane gas for a good price around the no alcohol price so I filled up with it. I had a quarter tank but topped off with the 91 octane, I made it to SD from Sedalia MO on that tank of gas.
I filled up with the alcohol stuff and only had a quarter tank when I hit home so a huge difference in milage between the low and premium grades I figured I ended up with 50-60 more miles out of the 91 octane gas over the no alcohol fuel and way more over the alcohol added fuel.
Maybe the 91 stuff costs more but preforms way better is the better value.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I think a lot has to due with what octane the computers on your vehicle are geared towards. I would just follow the manufacturers recommends.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I’m like Vinke...lawnmower, snow blowers and vehicles get it. I was told by a small engine guy that it helps to keep the carbon build up down.

I THINK the gasahol/super unleaded/gas with ethanol added is all the same and is 91% octane. Regular unleaded is 87% octane. I think. Correct me if I'm wrong. I checked and that is correct. States that grow corn and promote ethanol is cheaper than regular unleaded. I have seen some states that had ethanol fuel higher than regular unleaded. Some states don't list it as having ethanol in it, some are proud to do so. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.
