MPG vs 0 Ethanol Fuel

[MikeyLikesIt]

Coming back from South Dakota a couple of weeks ago and hit a Shell in west Wisconsin. I notice the premium (91 Octane) has a huge note, 0% Ethanol.
I've never run across Shell gas with no ethanol so I filled up. I immediately noticed the MPG's were a full 2 points over the first two-thirds of the trip.
The more I drove to work over the last couple of weeks, the more it went up. So I started taking it easy to see how far I could go on one tank.

870 miles!! 25.2 Calculated MPG
I'll never get MPG like this again, it was difficult to not drive normal and stay out of boost.

Here is the DTE after I filled up, 955 miles!

I wish there was more 0% ethanol places near Chicago, but after some research, there doesn't seem to many.
Especially Shell which I prefer.

Jesus Christ I average 14 mpg but I guess I drive with a heavy foot and I run e85

 

[Mook]

We found 91 no ethanol on TCG tour. I didnt know if I could run it on the Evo because I had never seen it before. Me and utryd2 were like monkeys inventing the wheel at the pump

I’ve always gotten better mileage on E0 Wisconsin 91. Think I did 35 highway mpg hauling ass on our way home last trip. Normally get around 31 maybe 32.

After a weekend at Road America in the GTA when it was just a fully bolt-on LT1 with the T56 I got 34mpg on the way back home over about 160 miles. on the way up there I averaged just under 32mpg.

I always see gas stations around here that advertise fuel with no ethanol. I don't give those commies any business.

Lol why

 

[DanJ]

Probably because he’s from corn country.

 

[GTPpower]

I grow it.

And drink this, that probably doesn't actually contain any corn, but still.

 

[Yaj Yak]

It'd still sell...

 

[DanJ]

I’d like to have it for my lawnmower. That Busch Light confuses me since Anheuser uses rice as an adjunct and not corn.

 

[GTPpower]

I've been putting e10 in every small engine I have for like 20 years.

 

[DanJ]

I have no choice. I put in some of that ethanol shield as well.

 

[GTPpower]

Just about every station here has 87 octane, ethanol free, and 87 octane e10.

 

[RedBeard]

What car is this that got 870 miles to one tank?

 

[Bru]

My pops has an old car that he suspects is vapor locking because of ethanol. Joliet airport has ethanol free 91 for $4 a gallon. Yikes. Likely an airport surcharge. They say a bunch of muscle cars fill up there.

If you were closer to wisco it's right over the border at a few stations

His f150

 

[b4black]

Ethanol has 30% energy (BTUs) per gallon than gasoline.

Every legitimate (scientific) fuel economy test shows a direct correlation between energy content and miles per gallon.

So the difference between an E0 and E10 gasoline will be 3%. (Anything else is test variability)

 

[Dave M]

Yaj Yak Where would these Wisco stations be?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

E85 for me. Give me that corn

 

[GTPpower]

Hell yeah! Buy that American made high octane for dirt cheap!

Genoa City and Walworth have them, I'll keep my eyes open for near me

Wish my truck could run it
