I don't understand how I can get 11.5 MPG on every tank. No matter how I drive, or if I reset the MPG monitor, I always get exactly 11.5 MPG. Not 11.4 or 11.6, it always goes back to 11.5. I use 87 or 91 and get the same results.

How's the corn look this year wilson? Is there going to be enough for food or are they going to keep wasting it on fuel?

There's already 15% in the fuel and I do not like it already. I doubt I would like 30%.

We can all rest easy now, because the government is on the verge of issuing new fuel economy standards. "The new standard will require cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs to achieve 54.5 miles per gallon, or approximately double the average mileage of cars on the road today, over the next 13 years."

Got 16.4 mpg on a 1500 mile trip from AZ to SD running 85 octane. As soon as I hit Nebraska and got 10% blend ethanol mileage started to drop. Averaging between 13-14 in town.

8.8 and dropping. All in town 4-5 mile commute. So, 8-10 mile round trip. Moderate to heavy traffic.
