Hi All,

I watch my mileage.Â* I have been running pure gasoline now
for a bunch on months.

My mileage jump up from 23.5 on 15% alcohol to 25.5 miles
per gallon on pure gasoline

Hmmmmmmmmm .....

Â* That's great , but what you really need to calculate is the miles per
DOLLAR . If there is like here , that pure gas is higher priced than the
gasohol .

It is 40 cents more per gallon. I have an equation for
miles per dollar, but the gas prices keep jumping
all around, so it is pretty hard to make a good
comparison.

Also it is pretty hard to calculate the cost of the
reduced wear and tear on my engine.

That's because it's non-existent in today's vehicles. I've been using
it for decades, no maintenance issues. Small engines, that's a different
story.






Price/Gal Price/Mile
$2.68 $0.1181
$2.42 $0.1027


$2.56 $0.1015 Pure
$2.64 $0.1055 Pure

Where is the calc that matters, with the .40 cent price difference?
Quick math in my head, the E85 gas is less expensive,
you get about ten percent less mileage, but the cost per gallon is
about 15 percent to 20 percent less.
