What I think dcb's point in mentioning the BTU content of the fuel is this:

You are getting more miles on 9 gallons of gasoline than that same 9 gallons with a gallon of ethanol added. Therefore your engine is not running optimally. That is my conclusion as well. There is no witchcraft at work here, and engines are not rocket science.
