    I have the choice of a few ethanol free gas stations in my area but sunoco has some by my work and my house so I think I might use them. There are no top tier stations around with e0.

    Would E0 from any station differ from a top tier one?

    Are there ANY additives In E0?

    So adding a bottle of tech ton every 3k or so could be harmful? Too much addicted or reactions with other additives already in it?

    Well just filled up with 90 ethanol free to the tune of $4.33 a gallon!!!! The regular E10 was almost a dollar cheaper!

    Any how I'll update after this tank. I got a calculated 47mpg on a tank of chevron regular. ImProved from the tank before that with a calculated 42 mpg....

    So my results will be a bit messed up as I'm obviously getting better at driving for mpg. Plus I only got in 8.6 gallons of the E0.

    We discovered ethanol free gasoline in (very) northern Georgia. At the time, I was driving a Camry. On that fuel, I was able to make to Tampa, Florida on one tank of gas! That made me pay attention to what I was putting in my tank. Most stations that carry ethanol free gas are "mom and pop" stations, many times near where boaters can acquire it, as ethanol ruins small engines. For me, even though it is about 20 cents more per gallon, I still strive to use the "free" stuff, as I know it's way better for any engine. For my 2013 Prius, I will continue to use ethanol free gasoline when I can find it available. Better gas mileage? You bet!

    Well on this tank I'm at 148 miles with 56 mpg displayed. So far even with other variables I believe it does in fact provide a significant mpg boost. I'll keep this thread updated.

    Only 20 cents more?!?! I need to find a station that's only 20 cents cheaper! The sunoco I went to it was almost a dollar more!!! Though it was still only 37 buck for a full tank. Still almost 10 dollars more than chevron regular. Even though it's more money I may still use it anyways. I'm one of those Americans that will spend money to unsupported our political bs that backs all of the mandates in crap we buy..... Think ethanol is put into gas because it's better for the environment or our carst or that the decision was made with the people in mind? Then your a good little lemming :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
