I bought Gasoline yesterday

No, not that ill-concocted alcoholic blend, but REAL gasoline! No corn involved. This experiment should prove interesting, because this one station charges about the same as my regular station. Let's see just how much the fuel mileage improves.

My bet is about 2 MPG give or take a bit.

I've used ethanol mixed fuel and straight gas, and there's not much of a difference in mileage, but every time I use ethanol the engine runs terrible. I only use straight gas now if I can help it.
