    It's like 20cents more here on the island of Maui. Good stuff for sure, and it seems to be growing in popularity again here.

    Not an option here, closet EF gas is over 200 miles away, and usually costs quite a bit more per gallon. Unless you're saving money I don't see the point, ethanol isn't going to hurt anything in your engine.
