I've noticed since then , the fuel consumption has increased and the idle is crap. Why is this so?

Fact, gases that are higher in ethanol help keep your fuel system cleaner.
If you are using higher amounts of ethanol gas it will get some of the gunk out of your tank and engine. I HIGHLY recommened you change the fuel filter and PCV valve.
