So that kind of effects mileage. Hell I put E20 in a 15 year old Infinity G35 coupe and it gets 22 mpg in the city. That fuel at certain outlets is 2.76 right now. Non ethanol fuel is around 3.50.

I support the Ethanol industry and don't believe any of that "it ruins your engine" BS. I put ethanol in a former work cargo van from the day I got it used at 40k miles. The engine finally shot craps 14 years later at 276,000 miles and it wasn't because of a fuel failure.
