New gas formula and compression.

When I take my 96 LT1 apart for inspection and machine work, should I consider increasing the compression to compensate for the new 10% etanol in all gasoline? I know that etanol is less efficient and we will all have a milage and power reduction May 1st. Any ideas on a prefered compression ratio for an LT4 Hot Cam with shorty headers and maybe head work? Head work decision is yet to be made.

Thanks for feed back and remember those representing us did this and it will add to our fuel costs. Etanol can not be transported in pipe lines, must be transported by truck or rail and our production capacity is not adequate to meet demand. Thank your congressman and senator for this. I have done so already.
