I run it...works fine uses aprox. 30% more fuel so usually injectors and an adjustable regulator is needed. change the fuel filter after a few hundred miles of converting as it cleans the gunk out of the tank. Only negative is availability and different seasonal blends which contain varying amounts of ethanol, making it a bit harder to dial in.
Here are a few resources:

I use it b/c my compression is 12:4:1 and I like to run a good amount of timing, i don't actually keep track of my gas milage (sorry). Most who switch over and tune with same combo pick up 5-7% gains, not huge but significant
