Conditions were identical each way, but posted 3.5 mpg better with the pure stuff (significant because my baseline was 18.9 mpg). Ethanol's existence is only due to lobbyists, it has no merit...from the energy required to produce it, the increased consumption offsetting the supposed emissions favorability, its negative effect on supply/price for consumable crops, to its downright destructive nature (most significantly to small engines).
