That occurred to me, too. Ethanol is an oxygenating agent, with less energy content than gasoline, so by putting in a blend you've just leaned out your mixture slightly. In fact, that's kind of the idea. I've heard that much of the initial reduction in CO emissions with oxygenated fuel happened because carbureted engines were suddenly running leaner. Nowadays the pollution reduction is less significant because fuel injected engines just inject more fuel to compensate.
