I got some premium today for $4.36 cheapest it's been in about 3-4 years just in time for you know what......
Why are you running premium? Increased compression? If so it's cheaper at that spread to buy octane boost additive in bulk online and add it to 87.

Because it's a L94 and tuned for premium, I occasionally run e85 but there is only 1 station that has it around here

I used to only have 1 E85 option within 5 miles of my house. Recently they built a Sheetz and Casey’s within 3 miles of my house that both have E85.

In my ‘13 Escalade when you either run premium 93 or E85 and the price difference is well over $1+ per gallon choosing E85 is an easy choice.

When I was in So Cal it wasn't too hard to find E85 but it doesn't exist in WY so I stick with Premium.

Interesting how your petrol standards differ from Finland. I use only 98 E5, 95 "e10" is the other option but meant for economy cars. contains some more ethanol, max 10%. But there's literally only two options available anywhere. E85 flexfuel is stupidly rare over here so I haven't even bothered (would have to travel 30 miles to fill 'er up) and I highly doubt doing a bit of this a bit of that is a good idea in the long run. Choose one and stick to it and see where it gets ya.

tl;dr We have a ton of jabbering about about massive fuel prices over here, yet I've never seen anything like those octane numbers, different octane measuring standard? Could e95 with 10% octane actually be decent fuel for a v8 flexfuel engine and fuel linings? They market the 98 as "V8" fuel after all.
