Due to the amount of driving that I do, and to comply with IRS, I maintain an auto log.
Over the last several weeks it seemed I was using more gas than usual. I went back into the log and calculated the average gas mileage on the two autos that I drive.
When I made the comparison I was shocked to see that my gas mileage was off on both autos by about twenty percent, that’s a huge drop off.
What I determined was that the gas mileage drop off occurred the same time ethanol was added to the gas.
In Florida ethanol comprises up to ten percent of the fuel mix.
Is it just me, or could it be the ethanol fuel produced from corn is not cost effective?
