Noticed this at a local QT this week.
E091 gas. It says non-ethanol.
I'm not finding much of anything on internet searches either.
I thought the "E" gases were ethanol and bad for our cars :confused:
I do know it's 10% higher in cost than 91 premium

I don't know about MO, but in MA all gas has been E10 for years.

I'm guessing your fuels are also E10 and this new one is ethanol-free 91 octane, hence the "E0(zero)".

BTW, E10 is not "bad". I've had no issues of any kind with my cars, my lawnmower, my chain-saw, or my generator.

E10 is not harmful.

That's basically .91% ethanol, marine applications I'd assume

While E10 is not harmful to your car it does cut MPG. In my experience with my other Fords it does cause a drop of about 10%. Yes it does contain about 97% of the energy of pure gas however it makes the computer think the MAF reading is incorrect and the engine is operating at a higher Volumetric Efficiency so it pulls out some timing.

Some stations are starting to offer Ethanol Free fuel again. Thanks to some people, I will not mention, But they have been adding ethanol to fuel for some years now. Most Fuel is around 10% ethanol, which most fuel systems can handle, except for Small engines, especially with Carbs. It can destroy carbs pretty quick.

I personally use Ethanol treatments on standard fuels, but only because the closest station to me that sells the ethanol free fuel is just a little to far to go on a regular basis.

I tried 91 Octane gas with no ethanol in it from 1976 to about 2004. It worked really well :lol:
