Umm, no it didn't.
And unless you are storing the truck for a while, save your $ and don't bother with no E gas. It's not going to hurt anything in newer vehicles if used while fresh.
Same truck running 100% no E gas in AK, averaged 12-13 mpg commuting, sea level. In WA, similar commute, sea level, ethanol, avg 12-13 mpg.

On all of our vehicles, I've noticed about a 10% decrease in real world mpg.

When we first got the motorhome, it was averaging about high 7's to low 8's for mpg. Once the E10 became all we could get, that range dropped to high 6's to low 7's.

I know what the math numbers (and the government) say, but every one of my vehicles disagrees with those numbers. A 10% decrease is what I observe.


Sure wish we could get real gas again.

So are you saying these two members are lying, or they just don't know what they're talking about?

If you read the results of folks responding to fuel economy polls, the largest group is saying they are losing +10% on E10.

Happens all the time. People are mistaken or don't know the facts all the time. Take you for instance. You didn't know that phase separation was dependent on temperature until I showed you a link.

Here is a prime example of this happening with the "infamous Tornado". It gets a 3.3 stars out of 5 stars. Not too bad for something that does not work at all!!!! We know the Tornado doesn't work but yet again over 3/5's of people that bought them gave it a favorable rating.

Same thing for HHO. :R Like the Tornado, we know it doesn't work but yet people say they get 30, 40, 75% or more improvement in fuel mileage with it. :R One infamous guy said that he could run his car on 100% water!!! :S

Here is a guy claiming he doubled his fuel mileage with HHO. There are many, many, many more like him.

Using your logic, the two above examples must work great because over 50% of the people that use them say they do. :R

When the double blind studies are done, all of the real facts come out. :)
