Most people simply don"t do the math, especially in a long-term, accurate and controlled study. Now, here, some "claim" 10% reduction in fuel economy by going from regular gas to E10, which we"ve had for decades. No, I don"t mean methanol (gasohol- a totally different product, which DID cause problems).
