Gas isn't what it used to be !
That's true... it's BETTER!
I don't think so, but I don't have any numbers to back itup.
I think I got better mpg with the older gas, the most recent changes appear to take it away... to me !
I now if I leave the new gas standing for a while waiting for the gas to grow over the winter months, I get a funny smell out of the container, it's like it has spoiler !

If you have 100% gas you are better off. I have had to replace the carburetor on my chainsaw, lawnmower, tiller, pressure washer, and Corvette due to the alcohol in the fuel. It eats away at the gaskets and sluges out worse than 100% gas. I have found 100% gas to last 6 months before tuning to varnish. Three months tops with 10% alcohol.
I also get better fuel mileage with pure gas. My Harley will get better fuel mileage with 90 octane pure gas than it will with 93 alcohol blend and it will accelerate better and get better fuel mileage.
I can remember when the newer gas came out, EVERYONE seemed to have a problem.
I think I would be happier back a few changes in the gas content. It still clean parts well enough to keep the unused stuff for a little while.
