Pure Gas vs. Ethanol Added
I wasn't aware that some gas stations still sell "pure gasoline". I found one over the weekend and yes, it cost a little extra but holy cafe standards, Batman!, I'm getting and additional 4 mpg. What the hell? Anyone else using pure gasoline in their cars??

Its all Ill use in small engines, the new Yukon loves it as well. Works out about the same cost per mile.

Paying extra for it defeats added mpg.

For a race car that is tuned to run ehtonal it makes sense. For the daily driver it does not since it results in fewer miles per gallon and is bad for the environment (at least it is in the US where they inefficiently use corn to make it).

I think you are referring to Alcohol or Methanol. Ethanol brings down the octane level. That is the reason it is not in 91 or above.

I never put ethanol in my truck. 87 unleaded from Kum n go or BP ONLY.
The BP unleaded is the best gas. |
