The more corn ethanol they put in my gasoline, the worse gas mileage I get in my car. I am paying for that lower gas mileage.
It seems that the percent of decrease in mileage is about equal to the percent of increase in ethanol. Is it just filler?
I have switched back to pure gasoline. Fuel mileage is a solid 15% better without the ethanol, and the engine runs noticeably better, esp when cold.
The difference is even more dramatic with a lawn mowers. The engine has a noticeable lope at idle when cold and running on the diluted fuel. Real gasoline cause no such rough running.
I just had to rebuild yet another carburetor ruined by ethanol. The viton part that controls fuel flow had turned to goo because of the alcohol, happens every time.
If I fill with REAL GAS, I get 17 mpg.
When I use Ethanol laden gas I get 14 MPG over the same road.
And it destroys small internal combustion engines in lawnmowers, chain saws, etc.
