That was one of the advantages of using MTBE. 5% MTBE hardly affected the BTU content of gasoline and it would not pickup water.

Around 2002-2003, in California my Jeep Cherokee would do around 15-16 mpg on the highway, with E10. With MTBE gas in Arizona, the mileage would jump to around 17 MPG. About 10-15%.
