Beginning in October up here in the PNW, we have no choice but to use oxygenated, ethanol infused (10%) gas. Our gas mileage absolutely goes in the tank (pun intended) when they switch to this winter blend.
Although I LOVE our EB, it seems to suffer worse than other engines I've had with this AWFUL winter gas!!!!
I was getting 18+ in town over the summer without even trying, and now I can't get over 15.5 no matter how hard I try..........I hope that the corn farmers and the US government are proud. This simply CAN'T help our consumption numbers for total barrels of oil................rant just begun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!

Yes sir I feel your pain... It has been hitting me this month as well. The "miles till Empty" display in my A5 even reads 25 miles less when full with winter blend. Even the computer is saying **** this gas

I would think that the total tailpipe emissions would be about as bad as regular gas because of the increased consumption...this is as good an example of "government taking good care of us" as I can imagine right now.....this SUCKS!

The old 5.8L in my Bronco doesn't like it any more than my EB.

I noticed it big time in the Hemi, Im getting 1 litre per hundred km difference with this truck, figured it would be worse, I dont know how much ethanol we have up here at most stations, I know husky and mohawk state their ethanol but nobody else does.

my gas station now sells 100% gasoline in 90 octane as their premium and i love the mileage all winter long.

I noticed my milage going way down in the past couple of weeks also. Thought it was the cold. I have premium in my tank. Pure gasoline.

Where I live, we have that 10% garbage period!! I have to drive 45 min to get "pure" gas, and thats only 91 octane....

I have lost 2 mpg. The instant mpg indicator is hooked directly to my foot.
Sucks.

Me too and it's about $5.00 per gallon.
