Octane has nothing to do with the amount of ethanol in the fuel!!!!
87 octane and 93 octane could (would) be 10% ethanol at most gas stations.

Excerpt from Rex Energy on Ethanol content in gasoline:
Frequently Asked Questions
Does 93 Octane Have More Ethanol Than 87?
Yes. 93 octane does have more ethanol than 87. There is a common misunderstanding that ethanol is present in lower amounts in higher octane gas. In reality, it contains more.
Although pure ethanol has a minimum octane rating of 100, it behaves as though it has a value of 112 when combined with premium gasoline. Ethanol is used more, not less, in higher-octane mixes like Esso’s 93 and Petro Canada’s 94.
