Ethanol Free and high octane gas effects?

I found a local gas station that sells ethanol free 91 octane gas as well as 101 octane "race gas". The manual on the car says no more than 10% ethanol and at least 89 octane gas. What are the effects of using

A) the ethanol free gas <- I am assuming this is fine and will work well.
B) the 101 octane gas <- no idea what this would do

Ethanol free means exactly that...no ethanol. I wish i have a ethanol free station near me. Closest one is like 100-200 miles away.

There are no benefit of ethanol other than the gas companies making more money. Is like giving you $0.90 for your $1
