Bob: I have been trying to solve the same problem and have been getting the same result.
Word of advice though, the FAA when it issues an STC to use auto gas in an certified aircraft prohibits the use of MOGAS containing alcohol. From what I have been able to determine it is because of alcohols affinity for water and they are afraid of fuel line freeze-up and plugging. Personally that is enough for me so I will stick to the unleaded MOGAS either 87 or 91 octane.
