Is that not the case?
We get 93 octane with 10% ethanol so it does help.. Ethanol has properties other than octane that make it effective anyway.. There is a reason why it out performs 116oct..

Geez, we spoiled Americans really shouldn't complain realizing 1 NZD = .771375 USD. That means we'd be paying 4.407596361/gallon . E85 is 2.899/gal and 93 is 3.399/gal in SFL.

I went yesterday and was $3.499, the week before it was $3.299, I haven't seen $3.09 in a few weeks. We pay the highest price here in California.

It's a brand new E85 source in San Diego in fact it's unlisted too. They opened it a week ago.
