I wonder if any auto fuel, premium or otherwise is even available
without ethanol added? If that's the case, they have pretty much
elimintated the use of it in aircraft. But I've also noticed avgas
available just recently that is getting so cheap, I'm loosing interest
fast in finding alternatives. Check airnav.com, at Leesburg, FL,
Triangle has full serve 100 octane for $2.79 a gallon. What a welcome
sight that is! It's like coming out of the dark ages of recent past.
Let's just hope it isn't a temporary phenomenom that doesn't last
long. I guess since FBO's buy fuel in a much longer time period that
gas stations, it may take a while before they can purchase a load at
the new prices and pass it on to us. But then there are a lot of them
that will try to hang on to the "old" prices and greedily make a large
profit. Definitely the time to do a lot of research before going on a
cross country so you know where to land and where not to for fuel.

The governor of Texas asked the EPA to release the state from the 10%
ethanol mandate: http://governor.state.tx.us/news/press-release/5270/
and his request was refused::
http://governor.state.tx.us/highlight/ethanol This was an EPA mandate,
not originating from Michigan or any other state. Oklahoma is/was
dragging their feet on the madated 10% ethanol as was other states. So
don't blame Michigan, the blame goes to our federal guv'mint.
