While I run better on alcohol, my truck does not.
I don't think ethanol is really saving me money, so I go out of my way to not use it. Less MPG's. Not good for your car. What's the up side?
In my Ranger,it's a flex fuel,I go from 23 mpg with pure gas to 20-21 with 10% e. gas.
There is no "up side" to ethanol.....unless you happen to be the owner of an ethanol production facility. The manufacture of ethanol is a net energy loss without the lucrative government subsidies. Think about it....it takes diesel to plant corn, diesel and refinery byproducts to fertilize the corn, diesel to harvest and transport the corn to the processing facility, 3 gallons of water for every gallon of ethanol produced, and diesel to transport the ethanol to the fuel blending terminals.
Ethanol is yet another fine example of wasteful, uneducated fools in government dictating to us what is best. Only the benefactors of the subsidies stand to gain anything.

If at all possible I avoid ethanol blended gasoline.
