The first 7 years that we owned the boxster, my commute was ~3 miles each way. I averaged ~12mpg. It never much bothered me. LOL!

In my current commute, I drive past a Buccees. They have 93 octane that's got 10% ethanol, or 92 octane ethanol free. I think the price is often something like $3.79 for the 93 octane and $4.79 for the ethanol free. I'm not worried about the ethanol killing the hoses/lines/etc... in the boxster, so the ethanol free just doesn't make sense for/to me.
