Very interesting post there DC. Kinda on the same subject; but would the guys that run a tankful of 91/93 every so often to clean out the fuel system benefit more by using a ethanol free gasoline? I don't know about other states,but here in AR most of the stations have at the least some ethanol mixed in to pump gas.
Here in Ontario Canada, the only way to get gasoline without Ethanol, is to use 91 (and up to 94) Octane. 87 runs up to 10%, 89 runs up to 5%. So, for cars that are E85 equipped and maintain that 87 is the minimum octane rating for gasoline usage, you can see where this could create some issues in the long term. Not a big deal, but for dealers/shops getting customers cars with driving issues on just cheap gas alone, if we had any real users of E85 up here, I could see many more driveability concerns related to lower grades fuels from both sides.
