Naturally, the ethanol blend is probably the most popular here since it's the cheapest, and that's always what I used to put in my car. A few weeks ago I switched to regular unleaded our of curiosity. While I had been averaging 33-35 mpg, I got 37 on the last tank. Obviously I'll need to try it over a handful of fill-ups to know for sure, but if that increase holds, that probably makes up the price difference.
While the ethanol industry insists otherwise, I've also heard from a few sources that the ethanol-blend might be a bit harder on the engine.

I am afraid that the information you gave , is misleading --- the price for premium [ unleaded ] is more expensive , than the regular unleaded , as it is across the nation ------ unless the car you drive requires a higher octane , the cheapest gasoline is what you want , unless you want to expend money for nothing , and in the process damage the engine of your car , if you want to learn more about the subject you can go gas buddy or gas price.com ---- by the way you have better prices over all , than the lower states
