Have always heard the 'midrange' fuel is the low- and high-test blended (that's why it is usually 89-octane and the low 
is 87 and premium is 91).  If the midrange is the only one labeled as containing ethanol I'd be very suspicious; the 
station would need three tanks instead of two, the trucks would need 3 sections, etc.  (all the gas trucks I've seen 
have two trailers and two outlets).
