"zero ethanol" fuel in Kansas

I have been buying 91 octane fuel at a HyVee gas station and had been puzzled by the 10% ethanol stickers on the low and mid fuel selectors and not on the premium. Now the digital info display states that the premium fuel is ethanol free. I do still expect that there will be ethanol to the degree needed for winter fuels.
So that should translate into better MPG's *. We do not have a routine commute or such eval the difference.
* ethanol fuel has delivers less heat per pound of fuel. Ethanol contains oxygen in its molecules, and so has to be regarded as a partially oxidized hydrocarbon; aka already partly burnt. Most here are very aware of this, some may not be as aware.
Whoever is supplying their fuel is probably also supplying the same 91 octane fuel to other outlets. There is also some news out today on cutting ethanol blend mandates.
