The science is there, but it also depends on the price spread. Below is a link for a Consumer Reports article....this is for an E85 comparison, but the standard ethanol mixture at most pumps is also lower in energy than 100% gas (about 3%). Each vehicle will be a little different, but you will get better mileage with non-ethanol. I've done several tests on my vehicles and average about 5% better with non-ethanol as follows....06 Honda and 03 Volvo, 3% better; 89 BMW, 10% better; 02 BMW 6% better; 05 Suburban, 5% better. Note that the BMW's also require premium and the 89 model coughs like an old man on ethanol laced gas.

Here is the science from WIKI...
