ethanol question

I just found out that the gas station I always go to uses 10% ethanol. I am not tuned for ethanol, should i change gas stations or should I not be concerened. I have felt like the car performed different when I fueled there, but this could just be in my head.

I would use a different kind of gas. Ethonol burns a lot leaner than regular fuel.

Most 93 Octane "May contain up to 10% Ethanol"

let me restate that... It takes longer to burn ethanol... (I thought) But if the gas is rated at 93 octane you shouldn't have to worry too much i don't think... If you tune your car again, jsut use that gas...
