The loss in fuel economy can vary radically from one blend of reformulated gas to another. Here in Milwaukee, I get 32mpg with the summer blend and 28mpg with the winter blend. Both formulations have about 10 percent ethanol.

They won't stop using ethanol since the US Senate is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Archer Daniels Midland.

Ethanol or not, it's typical for us Northerners to experience a marked decrease in fuel economy during the winter months due to the weather and driving conditions.
