[QUOTE="Jeepjones85, post: 5476610, member: 603009"] So I went to Wal-Mart and filled up about a week and a half ago... And Before I was getting like 14-15 mpg in town with non ethanol gas, and Whenever I filled up at Wal-Mart and drove all that gas out, It didnt last near as long as the gas from the regular gas station. So I figured the miles I drove with the trip meter and how many gallons it took to fill up :eek:And I was astonished I was getting 11.1 miles to the gallon with that 10% ethanol crap:crap:... I new that the government was wanting to use the 10% ethanol to help out with emissions, But my god, If it causes you to get less miles per gallon...Wouldn't that cause you to pollute the air just as much because your having to burn more gas in the end anyway [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif[/IMG] Here is one of the searches I did, Im not the only one with this problem [URL="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=koi&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=gas+mileage+with+10%25+ethanol&spell=1"]http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&channel=s&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=koi&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=gas+mileage+with+10%25+ethanol&spell=1[/URL] [/QUOTE]
