I hate to admit it, but the learning curve for this wonderful idea is too steep for this country

No idea what it would take for the refiners to make 96 octane without ethanol, race gas down the street is $7 a gallon I think it's 104 octane. So a guess would be it would take a 50/50 blend of 104 and 85 to make 95, around $5 a gallon.

Now THAT would make mpg figures the #1 focal point of car manufacturers.
If 104 wasn't leaded here, I would mix it and 87 for a tank, just to see what would happen.
