Well guess so... Pump Gas having 10% Methanol !

Interesting that it helps improve performance in some cars.
Despite having a bit less BTU content !
My vehicles lost 1 a solid mpg.

FWIW:
During WW2 the Germans made synthetic fules to power their Aircraft.
When the US and Allies took them back to the SW USA to test.(1946)
Running US based high octane made them under-perform.
Using the German Fuels in German planes performance returned.
When US aircraft used the German Fuel the US aircraft underperformed.
