So are the both of use!!

Today I drive a 2019 Crosstrek and get over 30 mpg.

I get about 24.4 MPG city on my 2006 Forester with
pure gasoline.Â* About 22.0 MPG on that alcohol crap.

The good stuff is consistently 40 cents more per gallon,
but the miles per dollar are the same.


They do not sell ethanol free gas here and makes no sense that ethanol
free costs more.


That is what I told Maverick.Â* They claim it is their
suppliers doing it.Â*Â* Hmmmmmmmmm...

This has been going on for years. I remember a farm program when
the storage was sealed. Farmers weren't supposed to use or sell any of
the sealed grain. There was something called the Payment in Kind
program. Farmers had to leave some of their land idle.
