It depends on the vehicle.
In the bug, it gets up to 3mpg better with midgrade gas and I know of no source of ethanol free gas other than RUG. So for that one ethanol free does not get the bug better milage.
When we had a 4.6L 2000ym Lincoln town car there was up to a 2 MPG difference on ethanol free, so it wasn't worth the higher price of the ethanol free.
The 2008 3.3L Hyundai sonata gets 3 to 4 mpg better on ethanol free so for that car it is worth it when we can get eFree.
Bottom line, test it.
