When gas prices go through the roof and your car is set up and tuned for premium. lol I always use pure gas premium too. I guess it’s ok to use E10. I never checked the mileage. But luckily, I have a company truck with free gas for work. Those that have to daily them have it much worse

My 2016 Focus SE EcoBoost burns E20. My own brew. It has not been an issue at all. Everything is bone stock.
I buy fuel by the barrel for the racecar, so IDGAF about the price of fuel for it.

I am a instrument tech for a pipeline company and have their F250 to drive
One of the best benny's ever, a company car... FREE gas, tires,, insurance, maintenance. CAR, NEW car every 2-3 years...... I was in outside sales for over 35 years and truly appreciated having a company car for most of those years......
 
My '86 doesn't get driven very much, so I use ethanol-free 93 only because that's the only non-ethanol I can find. I'm told that with fuel injection and a closed fuel system, the ethanol isn't as much of a problem.

I put mine away for a while, and put that Sunoco race fuel in it. When I was giving it it's last ride for a while it was really running strong. I was surprised to see the sticker for Ethanol on the pump.
 
Luckily I work from home so fuel prices aren't too bad for me, but my daily is a 2500 HD with a diesel so that's at least $5/gal right now, and my boat is premium only fuel (supercharged) so off the lake like $4.50 or so and I'm sure this summer on the lake at the marina it will be closer to $7-8/gal which will suck giant balls.
 
I have always ran premium in my Saleen since I have owned it. I get 20-21 mpg when I commute it to work and back, Not bad for having 3.55's and some basic mods. The little farm town I work in has a VP racing station amazingly enough. The last few tanks in the car I have ran their non ethanol premium. Wow, there is a huge difference in how the car runs now. Even though it is ~60 cents a gallon more for the non ethanol I think it is worth it for the fun factor.

Where are y’all buying ethanol free 93? Only ethanol free I can find locally is 87. Foxbody only gets premium, being driven less than my DD. Daily driver gets E85 diluted with premium to E30.

Why is diesel fuel 95 cents a gallon more than unleaded in Central florida????? The only reason I can figure ( you do not get ANY answers if you "search" this question) is GOUGING.......
