How do you even have gas with no ethanol? It's not going to be a big difference anyhow if you're switching from the 6% oxygenate EPA mandate to a 10% ethanol blend.

For reference I'm running 30% ethanol in this tank as an experiment, I don't notice the gas needle moving more than usual, but the exhaust has way less unburned hydrocarbon smell (yay brain cells/kidney) and the engine runs extremely smooth (as expected).
