I have no idea of the actual situation, but that article said the opposite - the lack of ethanol required an increase in octane boosters.
"Many gas pumps, especially in the Midwest, offer fuel with no ethanol. In order to create a similar octane rating, these fuels use even greater percentages of BTEX to offset the loss of the octane boost from 10-percent ethanol."
