I'm currently researching the subject, My GF's dad was a diesel mechanic for years so mechanically I've got some help with the swap, I'm going to contact a smog "referee" hopefully this week to see what is required!

Well figured here is a update. Premium e10 is 4.45 a gallon. Premium not ethanol is 4.48 a gallon. Ran 2 full tanks of it so far I have saw a gas mileage increase (haven't actually figured out what yet) and seems to run a lot better. It had hesitation issues before that it doesn't now and it idles better as well.

I keep track of every tank I fill for mpg's. I have/had a station around my house that sold E0 at +$.10=$.30/gal vs E10. What I found is that even at $.40 more /gal it wa sstill more efective to fill with E0. I noticed +2-4 mpg's/gal. But during the winter months the additives and what ever else they add to the gas it wasn't worth the price difference.

The stations that sold the E0 no longer sell it and instead sell an E10 with additives that negate the effect of the ethanol. It's the same stuff the marinas sell, the jury is still out on that but my intial few tanks have shown +2-3 mpg's and warrants the $.05/gal.
