Is Ethanol-Free Gas better?

That sucks. I guess you get the same crappy 91 octane that CA/NV get here in the states.
You could try mixing 1/2 tank 91 with 1/2 tank 94 to save some money. Running straight 94 is probably overkill.

Okay I filled up with 91 octane with "up to 10% ethanol" at Chevron and have been driving with it for several days now. Here's my impression so far.
I can't wait to get rid of this **** and get back in my 94!!!
Regular mode feels fine. But Sport mode feels like 1/2 Sport mode now. It certainly lacks that extra "kick" it had before even at slight throttle. Before, if I was in heavy traffic I had to make sure Sport mode was off because if I wasn't careful I'd suddenly lunge towards the car in front of me but now I can have Sport mode on all the freakin' time.
No idea if it's the ethanol doing it or the octane rating, but it sucks.
Now I just hope that after I burn off this crap and fill up 94 the computer will correct itself back and it will be fun again....
