I lose about 5-6 mpg in my hybrid every time I am forced to buy the ethanol blend. With gas prices back down, it doesn’t seem so offensive, but when the price was over $4 a gallon, looking at that mpg gauge brought to mind every stupid decision the Bush administration made in the past eight years.

I used to live in No Calif, where there is mandatory “winter blend” with 10% ethanol.
I lost at least 1-% mileage with that crap.
That’s because ethanol has 30% less energy than gasoline. 10% ethanol would guarantee you that you get 15 to 20% less mpg on your vehicle.
