Gasoline grade BTUs per gallon?



Anyone know BTUs/gallon for regular, midgrade, and hi test? Is there a
rule of thumb or an algorithm? Can it be computed from octane number?
My real question is do they adjust the blend to keep the BTUs/$ the
same as the price goes up? My $/mile actually goes down when I run
midgrade.. mileage goes up enough to overcome the increased cost... I'd
like to see a chart or graph... Anyone have a link?
