Default Fuel Options

We have one Conoco/Phillips station in the area that has a sign in front stating "NO Methanol/Ethenol in our fuel, just plain gas". Their prices are about 15 to 18 cents per gallon more than the popular cut rate stations surrounding it.
What I was wondering is this option with the no methanol feature worth the extra cost?
My second question would be what octane rating is best for my 05 Ultra Classic?

for your bike, as for mine, i prefer to use the best grade i can find. there are times when you may have to settle for regular, but it sure beats walking if that's the case.
