Benefits of switching from ethanol
I recently bought an 07 FX4. It's new to me. I'm going to assume it's been ran only on 87 with ethanol in it for almost the last 5 years. If I switch from 87 with ethanol to 91 without any ethanol in it. what would be the benefits and would it be okay to do so? I know it is beneficial, I just don't know the benefits. Hoping some of you guys could tell me. Thanks guys!!!

Truck will run better, smoother, increase in gas mileage, increase in performance, BUT it is more expensive, and pretty hard to find. I only have 2 stations in my area with 91. Can't find 93

Relies on you and other people to report, but very accurate, just the name of the station might be changed if it hasn't been updated in awhile.
I try to update my city as often as possible.

I don't mind the 10% blend stuff but the e85 I won't touch anymore. The best I ever got on that crap was 12mpg. I only used it then as a test since at the time it was over $1/gallon cheaper. Around here it is the same price now. No more tax breaks.
I have always found the 91 or higher pure gas to be cleaner burning and provide better, although only 1-4 mpg better, but seems to run smoother and more responsive. I believe, opinion, that it is a more efficient fuel.
