      I run 87 octane with ethanol in mine and I do just fine mileage wise. Driving technique is has a much more drastic effect on mileage than ethanol fuel. I'm sure no ethanol gas is a little better on mileage, but you probably won't even be able to tell the difference. Higher octane fuel is also a waste and won't give you more power or fuel mileage.

      Just a BTW for everyone on the thread, if you can find petrol/gas that has NO ethanol in the fuel (Chevron 94 Oct) this does effect the performance of the vehicle. Especially when accelerating up a hill under lots of load. The ethanol 'stretches" the fuel and its supposed to be only 10%, but we had a hose and fittings rep tell us that the tanker trucks go through hoses so quickly because the ethanol is a corrosive. That content is more like 25-30% ethanol in the fuel!
