I was thinking the same thing. I will have to start checking. I don't pay any attention. If I look at the pump too closely I see all the CA taxes I am paying on gas and start to get very angry lol
WHATEVER you do for the bike/car/truck, E10 is relatively ok. It is approved for vehicles 2000 and newer. I personally feel the closer to the start of that age, the more likely you are to have problems. It is more corrosive than NonEthonal (NONOX) or E0 and it will gum up and go bad faster than nonox.
But whatever you do for the vehicles, DO NOT put E10 or anything other than NONOX in your small engines (mower, snow thrower, chain saw, weedwacker etc...) bad bad news. Check out the AMAs site they have BIG time stories about ethonal. So do many of the bike mags and I think even consumer reports!
its crazy.... it was around 9 - 12 cents / gal when we first found it.... now it varies, anywhere from 9 - 40 cents / gal. At the lower dif I run it in all the vehicles( it does get us about 7-12% better mpg), but at the higher end now, only run it in the bike and lawn equipment.

What is weird on the other end of the spectrum E85 (105 octane) is bad ask, you can do crazy spark and higher compression, makes real good power, but mileage is terrible.
Fuel experts say E30 is as close to pure Gas as you can get in mileage, power and fuel economy. Go figure.

So, because im not over there, can you gents explain what you actually have available at your pumps? here in Aus we mostly have this available
*Regular Unleaded (rare) (91 RON)
*Unleaded E10 (93 RON)
*Premium Unleaded (95 RON)
*Premo Premium (BP Ultimate, Shell V-Power) (98-100 RON)
and then in most capital cities you can have your E85, my car (L98 6 litre) is tuned for E85 but I have never run it, its not available where I live and I more than likely wouldnt put it in anyway.
My normal juice for everything is Shell V-Power (98-100) its pretty costly above the regular fuels though. costs about $1.78/litre here where as the regular's only cost $1.50 or so (been ages for me) Hows that compare to you gents?

Can't they use the excess corn to make moonshine and those good ol' Duke boys can tear up and around the county while Rosco chases them and makes a funny laugh when he's plotting his schemes to catch those Duke boys ? I guess they "have representation" now...

They use a different ratings scale, but its the same.
For prices, it was '80s prices, but has since gone up to about 1/2 the price we get screwed for here. Don't laugh the UK gladly pay more than double again. More petrol dollar fuel excise power to you.
