There is a gas station about 10 to or so miles from me that sells 100% gas for a great price. is it worth it mpg wise to use 100% gas verses the e10 stuff?

Well how much is it vs regular 10% ethanol gas in your area? -
This is what I observed while driving in my 4 cyl, 2.0L, 5spd Mazda Tribute 170km (106 miles) every day for work.
I averaged the following driving 80% Hwy 20% City;
E10 = 8Km/L (18.8MPG) $1.37/L
93 Oct w/no Ethanol = 10Km/L (23.5MPG) $1.45/L
4.7mpg difference for 8¢ a liter more.
Also have to mention that my engine runs much smoother and throttle response seems much faster using non ethanol fuels. That is why I choose to pay the extra and use non-ethanol over the E10 in both of my vehicles.
Oh and to those who always say that adding an intake, header & exhaust = less MPG. My mods are CAI, equal length ram horn header and 2.5" Magnaflow exhaust w/Cat delete. MPG was not affected after allowing the engine to breath properly. Cams, injectors and a tune next week. Have to wait and see if it goes down after that.
