Oh, just forgot to say that I do both straight gas and 15% ethanol blends, whichever is most convenient to get where I am just then, while the ethanol blend is slightly cheaper.
So far I cannot see any difference in economy between the ethanol blend and pure gasoline.
It may have an adverse effect on other vehicles, but 30%? Suspect to bias...
