Everybody's car is a little different, I guess. The drivers certainly are. As for me, switching to 93 octane non-ethanol has caused small improvements in nearly everything you can measure or sense: mileage, exhaust note, acceleration, crickets, etc., on the order of 7 - 10%. We're lucky in NC to have an oil company who are very proud of their gasoline. They are called Quality Plus, have 75+ stations all over the state and the pumps dispense 87 with 10%, and 93 with 0%. Period. Right out in front. It's consistently good and currently costs $3.22/gallon. The BRZ loves it, and so do I. A 3000-mile round trip to Maine last August demonstrated the reality of the above claims through occasionally being unable to find the Right Stuff and filling up with a substitute. The Z pouted and dragged his butt until we used up the tank and refilled with what he has come to love.
The hassle factor of using this gasoline is very low, especially with the PureGas app on my phone, and the stations even provide free air pumps. And when we use the improved mileage figure to adjust to the net cost, there is very little sticker shock as well. Thomas, you can drop your mike -- your corn likker quip is the last word.
