Also the price difference between the highest grade and lowest grade of gas is minuscule even if you add it up over a year. It's the same reason why I never understood people who buy a hybrid "for the fuel savings." The savings over using just a normal petrol or diesel engine takes years in order to recuperate the upfront costs of a hybrid. I can understand someone wanting to get a hybrid because it's better for the environment since they're burning less fossil fuel and price for fuel doesn't represent the true cost of production and harm towards the environment but not when someone buys it for the so called money savings.

I think you are right about the 10% ethanol content being in most pumps now. My CA said that on avg there is 13% ethanol in most gas, so using 91 at a MINIMUM is safest to protect the engine.
