What is really interesting is that Portland Oregon has a city ordinance that requires a "minimum of 10% ethanol" for any gasoline sold with in the city limits. This has been in effect for since September 16, 2007 for wholesalers and November 1, 2007 for all retailers (gas stations).
So what do MINI owners do if the mix is more than 10% as the "minimum" required is 10%?
Here is the link to the city ordinance. Check Chapter 16.60.020 Section B.1 and 2

Just my 2 cents: I have used everything from Sheetz to Exxon to Chevron to Shell. On my truck it had no affect whatsoever so it always got Sheetz. On my BMW's every time I used Shell I had a 15% increase in MPG and the car ran smoother. On my MINI I am only on my 2nd tank but I had a 15% increase in MPG from using Shell. The first tank from the dealer was some local station. Now I know the car is breaking in but an instant 15% increase will keep me using Shell.
