Hi All,

I watch my mileage. 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

It hasn't been news for two decades that alcohol fuel mixes reduce mileage simply
due to less energy content in the fuel.

Where have you been?


Very true and they are screwing him by charging more for pure gasoline
as it is cheaper to make.


You have cites for that? That it actually costs the refiner more for
alcohol than to refine crude? Also factor in the retailer needs a
separate tank and pump that's low volume to support it.



Educate yourself by looking at it into the whole process.


I take that to mean that like usual, you have no cites. Thanks for playing.
Are you going to Tulsa?
