Eric runs Super in the 'Lude. I didn't pay attention, but I'm sure it was over 90 the entire time. At one point I think we bought 93.

Do we have much ethanol in our fuel out here?
Not our here! Thank Goodness!
Get ready for it, in an effort to educate myself I looked on online (which is the new TV of course and I believe everything I read on it) and it looks like MTBE is on the way out...mandates are being passed to use ethanol as the renewable fuel...if I run across the site again I'll send it out.

In the Midwest all of the mid-grade stuff was 10% ethanol. It actually made the "Plus" grade of gas cheaper than the regular unleaded, but I don't think it did anything at all for gas mileage. From what I understand, Ethanol is actually more expensive that regular gas as well, being one of the major downfalls of the renewable source.
Out in the garage collecting parts....
