York County, Pa. - When looking to fill up your tank, would you drive
farther to pay more? Randy Hake's customers are doing just that, since
he's the only gas station in York County, Pa., selling "pure" ethanol-free
fuel.

"I get 20.1 miles to the gallon, in-town driving. I used to get 13," said


This is probably not true, well unless something esle was drastically wrong
with car that she had fixed.


5% difference in fuel economy can be directly attributed to lower
energy density of ethanol in E10 fuel. That translates to about 1 MPG
difference on a car that delivers a nominal 20mpg.


With unleaded regular gas, my '07 Subaru Outback Sport gets 28+ mpg on a
fairly even mix of street and expressway driving. When I use scam gas
with 10% ethanol, I get 24- mpg. Scam gas is now all that's available in
Wisconsin.
