Here is an interesting article on octane as it relates to alcohol.
I'm going to research this subject some more and I just may try it.

Great article and thanks for the share. The article exactly hits the same line of thinking I have, as well as what
Koa is stating.
One method I was thinking (but didn't see if the other pages of this thread mentioned it) is the yellow octane number at the pump, regardless if you have 0%-10% added ethanol, should be that Anti-Knock Index (AKI) rating. However, after reading the article from
WNDSRFR it would seem that even the yellow AKI number on the pumps might actually be lower than stated (if they have ethanol added). Overall, why post a number that isn't accurate? The popularity of tuner cars has raised over the last decade. If you are going to pay the extra $.60-$1.00/gal than you should be getting a premium product...but that's the downside to our economy. We cut corners to make an extra buck. lol
