Gas engine fuel mpg?
Anyone using a 350/3500 class SRW gas engine truck for a camper hauler I would appreciate hearing about your mpg’s - make and powertrain spec - empty truck, camper on board, and camper & trailer-...

Drove a classic car from Oregon to Minnesota & back last summer. I always run premium. Charted my mileage. Once I got out of the coast states I started to see pumps offering 100% gas. Of course I filled with that fuel instead. I jumped from 14-15mpg to 15-16mpg with the 100% gas. This in a car with 60+ year old aerodynamics & a 350ci motor, running the interstate at the posted 80mph.
(I know there are a lot of different studies & stories about the effects of ethanol and the value of premium fuel. I totally admit this is a small sample and is only one guy's experience. I am just sharing, not debating. Do what works best for you.)
Oh, and the prices were a lot cheaper too. That, however, is more a function of the coast states having much higher gas taxes.

I can tell you that the fuel in Oregon is absolute GARBAGE! Coming down last summer Red didn't run good till I got fuel from Idaho and my mileage went up too. This corn stuff is nothing but another Washington "shove it down ur throat" scam that does nothing but make someone else money, and hurts the final users.
