91 E10 at the cheapest convenient station. Crickets are gone now at 11k miles, and when I tried the more expensive stuff 5k miles back and the crickets only got louder (shell I think).

Oddly, so far the 10% Ethanol crowd seems to almost exactly mirror the cricket poll numbers.

Really? I've never had anything but problems with bp. They are usually ranked low in fuel quality as well. Interesting

Do you guys have ethanol yet? The UK gets it later this year. Any fuel-pump crickets in Germany?

Only place with 93 close to me is BP so thats what goes in, if no BP then I get 91 from QuikTrip. Just started getting crickets in the last 200 miles and have about 5500 on the car.

"Ethanol" as in E85? yup, but only at very few stations at the moment. And no fuel pump issues known as of late.

I use 93 ethanol-free and voted accordingly. But I just did a search for an E85 source near my house. Last I checked, the nearest one was over 90 miles away, but now there is one <12 miles from my house.

Is it better to run this in a completely stock car? I know the high horsepower guys use it, but is it good for engine longevity outside of racing? If E10 is bad for most cars, it seems like E85 would be horrible.
