Actually a lot of stations have 91 that is no ethanol and 87 that is 10%. If you look at the pump it will tell you.

There was a thread started on another forum that I linked somewhere on here. A guy dyno'd his ninja 1000 (which takes 87) with 87 and 91. The 91 test left him with 5hp less than the 87 run. That's about a 4% decrease, not very significant but, why pay more for less performance?
