Is there any reason not to use UNL 88? It’s an E15 blend that’s 88 Octane. It’s normally $0.33 or 15% cheaper here than E10 87. Both of our cars say you can use up to E15. (2019 Honda Insight and 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid).

been using it in our 2005 Jeep GC and 2014 Chrysler T&C for a couple years now. I agree on the pricing you see in Nebraska, it is the same here in eastern Iowa. Mileage was not greatly impacted in either case either...
One thing I noticed and not sure of root cause yet, but the 2005 jeep does start a little harder in the cold. Not sure if I need to check plugs or what but just an observation. The 2014 T&C is fine.
Just my $0.02

I don't see it around here in Indiana but they advertise it a lot on the Big Ten Network ball games.
At 15% cheaper than E10, and in cars that allow its use, I'd use it.
Most places here only have a 5 cent difference between E10 87 and E15 88. The decrease in fuel mileage from decreased energy content doesn't make it worth it at that small of a difference in price...

I use it without issue in our Pilot and Outlander.
I used it for a while, I did notice fewer mpgs, but other than that....no worries...
gas prices are crazy for that. Here in eastern Iowa you can but
E10 87 for $1.849
E15 88 for $1.659
E85 for $1.799
E0 91 for $2.549
Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It has been this way for several months at the local Kwik Trip that E85 is more than E15 (88)...

While the octane rating is higher, the energy content per volume is lower. Try it and see how you like it.
