The MPG penalty is pretty minimal, Bill, at least with E10. I've tried it
a couple of times with my Honda, E10, 87 octane vs E0, 93 octane, and the
difference per tankful is about 10-15 miles per tank. As for alleged price
advantage of E10, who knows? E0, 87 octane is not available anywhere to
compare.
