Non-ethanol fuel
I found a filling station that sells 91 octane non-ethanol fuel. It's about $1.00 more per gallon. I don't mind spending the extra $$ but what exactly are the benefits? They also sell 101 octane leaded, but will only put it in off-raid vehicles.
Any clarity on this?

You get better efficiency and lasts longer which mean more POWER! 100% gasoline has 113,000 btu per gallon 100% ethanol has 76,000 btu per gallon 100% diesel fuel has 130,000 btu per gallon

I do know E85 burns faster (less MPG) though I think there are a lot of Myths about E85 out there in order to keep customers in Gasoline tied vehicles (more Bu$ine$$ for the USA)

Car's that are tuned to use E30 need bigger injectors and bigger fuel pumps in order to utilize the E30. Because Ethanol runs cooler if you tune it correctly you can more power than regular gas at the tradeoff of using more ethanol hence the bigger injectors and bigger fuel pumps
