I use gasoline for the water toys, small motors, and a '96 Pathfinder that we leave at the lake (all of which is Sta-Bil treated) - get it from the Pure station on 280 just East of the river bridge or Siggers in Dadeville. I gave up and have been using the 10% blend while at home for the cars. I have an '04 G35, and in real-world driving (perhaps 50/50 city/highway) my mileage difference is negligible. I go through a tank a week, so am not concerned with age, although we have an '08 CLK that gets very few miles and I load it up with Sta-Bil ethanol treatment at each fillup. I understand the BTU content is higher for gasoline than for ethanol, but in my personal experience - I cannot see a consistent mileage advantage on a day-to-day basis. I looked back to my records for April 2008, and my mileage has decreased by about 4% - I also have 58,000 more miles on the car, so I would expect a loss.
