The advice I've been given is that you shouldn't go back and forth between Ethanol and Ethanol-free gas, as it will result in moisture in the gas tank. If you always have access to higher-octane Ethanol-free gas, then that's the best possible scenario. I don't have that option where I live or drive, so I do my best to fill up with Top Tier gas. Costco is my #1 choice, but the closest one is 30 minutes away so I'm often at Wawa.
