By EPA mandate, we have 10% ethanol blend in the winter months and my
mileage is usually almost exactly 10% lower even when the weather is
unseasonably warm like last winter.  If I fill up outside the metro
area where 'real' gas is available, I notice a performance improvement
right away.

converts to 91 octane at a US pump?<<

No, the recommended octane coverts to 89 or mid-grade at most US
pumps.
