gas milage

BTW I don't generally get better mpgs with a certain brand, though I tend to favor shell gas if prices are the same as the place across the street. BUT I will say my mpgs SUFFER greatly when using gas bought on an Indian reservation. Even with Indian gas being way cheaper it still doesn't come out better in a cost per mile.

I guess that depends on the indian reservation. Have heard the same thing here, but my car's engine (both cars) can't tell the difference. By the way, before I retired from hauling fuel, I loaded side by side the rigs that hauled the "indian res" gas and can say for sure that the gas was the same gas that the off res stations got. The only difference was tax on it.

But my cars can tell the difference between regular (with ethanol) and premium (without ethanol). The Honda much prefers the premium, gaining 6 mpg and the Ford only gains 2 mpg. I quit making special trips to the Res and buy my gas where ever I need it. My motorhome does not use gas.
