I paid $4.06 a gallon yesterday for premium. My car requires it.

There’s no reason for ethanol to be in gasoline. It damages fuel systems, reduces mileage, and takes food out of people’s mouths. Get rid of it.

What price difference do you see?

Ethanol free is not available in our area.

ADM has their fingers in every single aspect of the federal government. Because corn is not seen as the driver in the rising gas prices they stay out of the limelight and oil companies get kicked around. ADM is as insidious as it gets when it comes to crony capitalism.

Ethanol free is the same price as diesel in my area, currently 3.99/gal.

Ethanol gas is 3.39.

Not only the difference in mileage, cold engine operation is vastly better. And I have had 4 fuel pumps in various cars destroyed by ethanol. The savings is more than just mileage.

Thanks, so basically the same price for fuel to drive 100 miles $13 +/- 1%.

Surprised they reported this, when Bush was president, the media went on and on about the price of gas.

Yes, same price, but likely far lower maintenance costs. I look at both

Plus, more range on a tank of real gasoline
