Here is what I got running from Omaha to Pittsburgh and back. Ran on 87 the whole way, the middle states had 10% ethanol, and I even had to put 86 in it at one point. The ethanol kills the MPG.

^^I'm still not sold on ethanol. I just know it makes my small engines (weed eaters, blowers & lawn mower) run like shit. Every year I have to have the carbs cleaned & adjusted before they would run right. I didn't have that issue before ethanol fuel came about in our area.

Speaking of weed eaters and ethanol. I switched to the mixed gas in the cans that has no ethanol added and it was like I just installed a supercharger on it. Never using pump gas again.

Run seafoam in it. It helped my dirtbike and ATV a ton. Before the dirtbike wouldn't even start because of the ethanol. Now, the seafoam makes it run as it did new

I already use SeaForm, now due ethanol I have to spend an addtional $5 for f'n additive, which in my book makes no DAMN sense.

Leaded fuel used an additive to add the lead, when they quit adding it, price when up on non-leaded fuel.

'13 Screw almost 1,300miles on her. Installed a K&N intake. Cruise set at 42-43mph, reset the adverage and the is what cam up on screen. I live near sea(lake) level here on the east coast of Michigan. No hills over here.
