    A lot of the "mid-grades" around here are 10% ethanol to increase octane.
    $.02 from ND.

    The 10% ethanol is there to reduce emissions, not to improve octane. The carcinogen (I think) MTBE was the most popular additive until recently, when it started showing up in drinking water supplies. CT and many othe rnortheast states switched over to ethanol very quickly.
