E10 has about 3% less energy than gasoline, but your price difference is about 2% so I'd say you could save money by buying premium, if it really is pure gasoline. But I bet it isn't. I bet the increased antiknock rating comes from MTBE, which also has less energy than gasoline, but more than ethanol. So you're probably breaking even.
