Myself, and aparently many others. Find that the new "10% ethanol"
motor fuel gives about 15% less fuel mileage. I don't see a lot of
advantage to planting, harvesting and distilling to make a fuel that
provides less mileage. Wish I knew where to buy the old style
gasoline. Well, now, here is a list of stations that provide the old
style gasoline.

Now, you can know, also.

Winter is comming, alcohol absorbes water that used to sometimes
freeze a bad batch of gas when it was below zero, I dont worry about
that now. I dont know if its fuel injectors that help but freezing
isnt an issue like it used to be.


Other than ethanol blend I think the major reason is that all modern
vehicles constantly recirculate the fuel whenever running so it keeps
whatever water that may be present in suspension.

Not even close to the real reason.
The REAL reason is the evap control systems on today's cars. The tanks
are not vented to the atmosphere, so you do not get moist air drawn
into the tank in the evening when the tank cools off, and the moisture
from that air therefore does not condense into the tank.
Condensation due to temperature change making the tank "breath" is the
major source of moisture in vehicle fuel tanks - and sealed/controlled
vent fuel systems eliminate that source.
