I am sure they have to ship the ethanol over here too = more cost.
I started using some 110 avgas blended in and the Cobra runs much better
and the mileage went up 2 - 3 miles /gallon so it paid for itself.

It didn't go down here in Texas either, it went up. The media reported that it went up because ethanol costs more to make, but in Nebraska, it went down because it costs less to make. Now one of these is not true. Now either up north the companies are not being truthful and claiming it costs less, so they lowered the price just because they want to help the people and are taking losses on every gallon sold, or they are not being truthful here in Texas and are just pocketing the profits because the people do not know better. If I had to guess, I would say that it does cost less, but then I am not an expert, maybe there are oil companies who are taking a loss.
