Regular was $3.689
E85 was $3.399

Equivalence would be $3.689*3 compared to $3.399*4

It would cost me $11.07 for regular to go distance X,
and $13.60 to go the same distance.

Don’t know what they are getting for gas in Mt. Carmel or Orderville. I need to make a run to Kanab this morning. They are usually $.10-$.15 less down there. I hope is is under your prices.

Hmmm... In Texas, E85 is Regular, they also have ethanol in premium, IIRC.

Was the ‘regular’ 100% gas or ‘Contains up to 10% ethanol’? In which case you would figure the energy loss would be 2/3 that of E85. So, the equivalency calculation for the regular would be 3.689*3.67=$13.54 compared to $13.60 for E85.
