Does anyone here see a mileage difference between 10% Ethanol and Non Ethanol gas. Here where i live, they are the same price.
I was just wondering.
Thanks for the input.

 

For the most part you get less mileage with Ethanol. Usually 1 to 3 mpg. Most gas stations run 10% Ethanol in all their gas. Usually the higher the percentages the cheaper the gas is per gallon. If your truck set up for FlexFuel it can handle more Ethanol.

 

youll get better mileage without ethanol. ethanol, per unit of volume, contains like 30% less energy if i remember correctly. so at 10% ethanol, youll see maybe 3% increased fuel economy maybe if you change. itll add up, just not fast.

 

I can definitely attest to non ethanol gas getting better mileage, than that with 10% ethanol. I moved from Mass to Wisconsin. And in Mass, there were 3 stations in the whole state that had non ethanol, so uncommon i didn't know there was a difference. Only what I've read on here.

Got to Wisconsin and went to Fleet Farm. 100% gas. I get almost 3 mpg's better now than i did.


My fill ups in Mass 15-16 mpg's




My Wisconsin fill ups 17+ mpg's now

We arrived here on the 10th. Been filling with 100% gas since. (pay no mind to the 38 mpg's one...i accidentally deleted the fill up before it, and it combined them together.)

 

Odd that both are the same price. In this area, non-ethanol is still available, but it's typically only the higher octane/premium fuel, which of course is higher in price. The mpg is certainly better, but the price is higher. So, in the end, I think it's a wash between mpg and cost. I'm sure enough cyphering over time and many tank-fuls would show some advantage either way. For now, I burn the fresher ethanol fuel in the truck. We're lucky enough to have the station right down the street, and there are enough users of the higher octane, non-ethanol to keep it fresh also. So, the small engines and motorcycle get the good stuff. The truck does just fine on the other....so-so stuff

 

That's a cool fuel calculator app. Is it just called "My Fillups"?

 

That's true. But there are places near me now that have 87 octane 100% gas. And it's about 4-5 cents more. Worth it to me anyway.

 

It's called Fuellog. Works well. I bunged it all up with that 38.9 mpg one. So i have to reset now, haha!

 

I use FuelLog also, good app.

 

you turds have 30c/gal cheaper gas than CA!
