I read in a test that an ethanol blend of fuel is more likely to run better and make more power than premium or 98. Here in wa, bp has the only 98 octane fuel and they are a rip off, they have the market cornered coz i rang every fuel station franchise and they told me they dont sell 98 only bp doh. If we had the ethanol blend i would use it coz the octane is higher and if your car doesnt run good on it, it doesnt need an octane that high
