If anybody in the Oregon area is using preimum fuel for their race car and has concerns regarding "blended fuel" (10% ethanol) see this link.

This is very interesting and might help somebody.

One thing to remember about ethanol blends. They are NOT GOOD for fuel cell FOAM if your race car has it.

Also, ethanol takes 1/3 more in jetting to achieve the same HP.
