I run a flex sensor on my stock P01 ECU.
I run a big spin on fuel filter, switch to straight e10 87 el cheapo pump gas in the winter storage.
I'm convinced he 'goo' people tend to get in their fuel systems from their cars sitting when running E85 is due to water getting in the tank. If you have a good, sealed tank where air isn't allowed to get in and out, park in a consistent temperature space or something cooler, you stand a much better chance.
e85 absorbs moisture from the air. If your fuel tank is exposed to the air and you live in a place that is very humid and gets lots of temperature swings where there is condensation, that condensation is going to end up in the fuel tank and combine with the ethanol and goo stuff up.

I apologize. E85 is 3.65 and 93 is 4.89 about a mile from me.
I don't use either. Jeez it wasn't too long ago I paid 1.9x for 87.
Inflation is a killer.
Probably both. I don't remember the actual year but had to be 2016 or 2017 when prices in NW Indiana were sub $2 a gallon. I don't know if anyone else here follows the market and I don't pretend to know much. But for a day or two back then the price of a barrel of oil went negative. To this day I don't understand how minus $30 oil even works. Just a strange tid bit.
The oil industry doesn't set the market price.....supply and demand in the market will naturally set the price.
The following are at least partly responsible for the current high price of gasoline: lack of investment in refining/drilling capacity during Covid, shutting down of the Keystone XL pipeline project, availability of oil/gas leases on federal land, govt signaling the planned obsolescence of fossil fuels.
