That's an important discussion I am having with my fellow Ethanol fans. Some pipelines are changing from 87 AKI Regular to 84 AKI BoB or Blending stock. That means Regular without Ethanol will need to be shipped in by truck, thereby increasing the price. The E10 they have been selling was labeled as 89 AKI due to mixing it with 87 AKI Gasoline. We've come to the conclusion that anyone who runs the new Regular with Ethanol will see their MPG drop. Most of them are running E85 or like me, E30-E40, so it won't affect us directly.
