That's true. I forgot that Missouri does not require labeling at the pump, and even in Iowa, sometiems all grades do have E10. But it is common to sometimes find E10 as 89 octane and 87 without ethanol...at least in Iowa and I believe Illinois.Again, my major concern is the stability of the fuel, more than the fuel economy. Water in the fuel system is not a good thing. I suspect a significant amount could cause misfires or a lean condition. Both of which aren't good for the engine.
Oh...and then there's that little issue of subsidies for ethanol and it's impact on food prices. Overall, ethanol is a false economy, and a poor energy strategy.

I sold it new to a guy who by concidence grew up oin my home town in California.We struck up a friendship so he always stops by my desk when he's in for service which is pretty often. We talk about people wh knew in common, old teachers etc.
As of a month ago he had 324,000 miles on it. he drives a TON.
Other than normal scheduled maintenance, he's on his 3rd or 4th set of brake pads. He had to replace his front brake calipers at 250,000 plus miles and an AC compressor at 278,000 miles.
It looks and runs like it did when it was new.
