We get 91 in LA, and it has 10% ethanol, and it's $5.19/gallon.

I've seen some discussion recently about increasing the amount of ethanol to 20%

Default I'd pay $10 per gallon if I could have decent roads to drive on
Michigan roads have crumbled to third-world status. Simply pathetic! Is there any wonder that Ho-Hum-Vees and huge AWD trucks and SUV's are so popular. But i would NEVER trust the government to actually spend the extra money on the roads even if they were efficient spending money!

That's complete nonsense. Normal (non-E85) cars are only built to withstand roughly 10%.
