That makes sense, but QT has big labels on all the pumps stating the "up to 10% ethanol" so I dont think its that, not sure, but I also dont argue with success,lol. They are real good about jumping into any gas war too so the prices are as low or lower most of the time.

So does everyone else have those "up to 10% ethanol" labels.

Most of them, I believe, I know the one I filled up this weekend did. Ive always heard ethanol would hurt mileage, and maybe ,as you all have said, there are other contributing factors.

"Pure" gasoline hasn't been around for a lot longer than the ~4 years since E10 became the standard. Before that, most gasoline sold in the U.S. had ~15% methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE) in it. There are a number of other oxygenates that were used, like TAME (t-amyl methyl ether), diisopropyl ether, isopropyl alcohol, t-butyl alcohol, methanol, etc. The market for them has really been hit hard by the mandates pushed through by the ethanol lobby. If you get the raw gasoline pumped through the pipelines before it's had the oxygenates added, you'll get something that's about 2-4 octane numbers lower than the ethanol blended stuff. That will make your engine retard its spark timing and run less efficiently. There's a lot to criticize about growing corn to make motor fuel out of. But the "true believers" in the harmful effects of fuel ethanol are pretty much deluded. |

We've been averaging 39 miles for both automatic YARIS as of lately . The warmer the weather the better the mileage . Tires set at 35 > 36 p.s.i..

Going from an old Civic to a Yaris, I noticed the gas pedal was more sensitive (in all new cars) in general. My commute is rather hilly. |

I shift in 3rd at around 23-25, 4th about 30-35, and 5th (cruising) about 38-40 :-) I generally keep my manual shifts at just under 2,000 RPM with hills and ramps slightly higher... Cheers!

The main benefit to E10 is that it makes injector cleaners a thing of the past (they might even damage the injectors if they're already clean! ) Main drawback, is of course, the slightly lower gas mileage. Depending on how many cold starts I'm doing, I'm averaging 35-36 MPG in the city, 40'ish MPG on pure highway (4dr. LB auto). Lately I've been doing these two mile jaunts to work, shut it down for a few days, come back from work, two mile jaunt, etc. I'm looking at the gas-gauge and I know the MPG is gonna be hurtin'. On the flipside, I'm down to half a tank, but my last fill-up was on July 9th. |
