93 Ethanol vs 91 Non
As of recently I found out there are a couple ethanol free gas stations around my area. Unfortunately none with 93 octane.
So my question is which is better 91 octane w/o ethanol or 93 octane w/ ethanol.
Hows the performance? Fuel economy? Etc? I know ethanol is corrosive and I was wondering if it would be a problem, mostly because I have a GM Stage 2 kit and it says it requires Premium fuel.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Also I'm aware there is a thread exactly like this. I didn't want to resurrect it only because I wanted to get answers and it didn't really answer all my questions.

The E10 blend is fine. The SS/SC can handle full E85 blend with no issues as long as you get 80# injectors and a tune for E85 (It won't work on the Stage 2 tune or 42# injectors. Plus you have to have E85 stations in the area since using 93 after the E85 conversion isn't optimal).
