OK, doing some cherry picking among the many facts in the tomes McGill made me read, I found one statement in the WIKI article that is what I am looking for.

"For E10 (10% ethanol and 90% gasoline), the effect is small (~3%) when compared to conventional gasoline,"

So at the Entec station, regular with-eth is 3.39, without is 3.69, or roughly 9%higher price to get a fuel that is, according to the WIKI, 3% better mileage.

At $.030 per gallon price bump it does not compute on a strictly fuel efficiency vs cost comparison.

At $0.20 per gallon price bump, the increase is more like 6%, and compared to only a 3% bump inmileage the advantages of NOT using ethanol come into play.

Bottom line is that at $0.20 bump I fill my gas cans and my car with non-eth; at $0.30/gallon bump I fill the cans with non-eth, the car with the blended crap.

And for every two forum participants there are at least three opinions; mine is just one. Thanks for the feedback.
