Ethanol issues
Has anyone tried to quantify the effect of ethanol added to gasoline on HAH fuel economy. I live in CT, which mandates 10% ethanol as an oxygenate in fuel (vs MTBE). My parents live in PA, where ethanol is not added to gasoline. When I go to visit my folks, it appears that consistently I get a bump of 2-3 mpg on the return trip (with "good" PA gas) compared to the outbound trip (with "bad" CT fuel).
Anybody else noticed this?
