In a study looking at mileage with different ethanol blends the general trend follows the energy density. That being said, your mileage will vary, The Ford Fusion tested did almost 15% better on e0 vs e10, while a flex fuel impala did just over 15% better on e20 vs e0.

that's my understanding, and why I'm surprised I'm seeing such a large increase
I realize that each car could act a little different as well as all the testing controls
I probably won't need fuel till this Wednesday (that will be my 3rd full tank)
so it will be a week or so before I get a reading on regular E10 again
