http://www.biofuels.nsw.gov.au/biofu...0_fuel_economy by just googling real quick there you go a government website which stated just like I did that cheaper gasoline is used to get the octane rating.
Run older cars which hate the ethanol and you can sure tell when you get pure gas vs ethanol induced lobbying.
