I think 93 octane is 93 octane even if it has 10% ethanol. Remember that ethanol is not necessarily bad. If you have 85% ethanol, your octane is much higher than if you have 85% gasoline. The problem is that it takes a lot more ethanol to make the same power so if you run E85, you may need larger injectors. Also the ideal AFR for ethanol is different from gasoline, so the tune should be adjusted. In the 10% range, I don't think it matters much. I'd rather run east coast 93 than west coast 91.
