Does this "Camaro" use premium fuel?

Mine is +$4.80 per 100 miles between 55 and 80, or +$2/gallon.

That's a speed tax I can live with (well, especially since you'd probably die on I-17 if you were only going 55).

70 to 80 is only another dollar/gallon. :shrug:
LMAO We all get outraged when gas nears $4/gal, then we see what it cost at 80mph....meh, totally worth it.

I don't use ethanol blend in it, if that's what you mean.

My fun car...

$7.44 @ 80 MPH. $5.83 @ 65 MPH.

LMAO

It isn't.

Well it's premium to me because it's more expensive.

Next time you fill up your car (which I hope is soon and often), look at the labels on the three selections (assumption). Regular, Mid-Range and Premium or some variation of those. That's based on octane ratings.

I'm pretty sure the QuikTrip I normally go to only has one flavor that doesn't have ethanol, not sure if it's the highest octane or not. And I rarely fill the tank on that car, I've only put about 2,000 miles on it in the 2 1/2 years I've owned it.

What's your issue with ethanol?

Heh, well it's still all relative.

I can get ~360 miles/tank... and a tank would cost $39 at $3/gallon and $52 at $4/gallon.

So, at $3/gallon, it's an extra $3.6 to drive 360 miles at 80mph instead of 65.
At $4/gallon, it's an extra $4.9.

Compared to the $13 extra at the tank, a few extra dollars doesn't really matter.... especially considering my sanity of driving that closely with other people.

I was on I-17 in PHX last week, yet again. I hate that stretch of road with a passion...

I've been told it can be hard on fuel systems in older vehicles.

How old? I've heard that any ethanol can be damaging to small engines (e.g., lawn mowers, leaf blowers). Not sure why and I'm not sure it's true. And that E85 will cause damage to the hoses in non-E85 engines and fuel systems, but not 10%

Ethanol also contains less energy than gasoline, so you do lose some mileage/gallon. But Ethanol has a higher octane rating than gasoline, so higher performance and power.

Missourians can get refunds on gas tax increase

Missourians will only be refunded on the 2.5 cent increase per gallon, and not the entire fuel tax. Additionally, only Missouri motor fuel vehicles weighing less than 26,000 pounds for highway use will be eligible.

To get refunded from the state, the process is not as simple as mailing in the receipts.

According to the Department of Revenue's website, a refund claim form will be available on the department's website prior to July 1, 2022. It is also working on an online system to submit refunds.

The form can be submitted from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2022.
