We got our oxygenated gas this past month in Maryland, and aside from the 
increased price (from 118.9 to 125.9 where I buy mine), and mileage 
decrease (from roughly 33 mpg to roughly 30 mpg), there has been no 
impact on operation.  Specifically there has been no increase in any kind 
of knocking or pinging in my car, but I never had any to begin with in 
any condition.
