Once summer, while driving through the rural areas (Amish neighborhood) in Ohio, I got gasoline for about 10-15 cents cheaper as those blends had less restrictive EPA requirements.

Ethanol blended gasolines (such as Sunoco- about 10% alcohols) are normally cheaper but the heating values are less than crude derived blends, thus you could consume more fuel for the same travel and could end up with no savings.
