I think the use of high octane fuel will eliminate the ethanol problem. Most fuel companies post the ethanol content on the pumps. Regular fuel (87 octane) usually contains 10% ethanol, mid grade (89 octane) around 5% ethanol and the premium (91 octane) is usually ethanol free. I have been told ethanol actually lowers the octane rating of fuel it's added to, increasing fuel consumption.
