It seems many auto makers are pushing for higher octane fuel but they don't know the best way to get there.

it seems we may be headed toward higher ethanol blends hopefully with a higher octane gasoline used in the mix

This will be interesting. The constant balancing of economy and basic human rights makes for quite a story.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights
If tuned: Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
