Don’t buy gas with ethanol in it, if you can get pure gasoline. Gas mileage will be better, it’s cleaner emissions than gas+ethanol, and your engine will be better off.

Our REPUBLICAN governor took that option away from Missourians. We have mandated 10% ethanol since Jan 1, 2008. It sucks to have government mucking with the free market.

You're right about ethanol. It destroys gas mileage.

This month I'll probably average about 600 miles per week. With that kind of driving the reduction in gas mileage with 10% ethanol is astounding.

But unfortunately it's getting more difficult to find ethanol free gas.

If you live in an area that requires a trip through the emissions testing station, you are buying gasoline with ethanol added.
