All the gas in Florida has the "up to 10% ethanol" alert on it.
And I definitely noticed a decrease in fuel economy when they made the change over.....18-19 down to 17 (barely).

Whatever if anything Techron is.� I used to see all the different gasoline company tank trucks fill up at the same Fina refinery in Big Spring, Texas.� There would be Shell, Conoco, Phillips, Gulf (still existed back then), Texaco and so on.� I think gasoline is sort of like flour.� Whatever brand label the local product carries, it comes from the same source as all other brand name local products.

Does the Chevron gasoline you buy have ethanol in it, or not?� I do get better gas mileage, but can't really tell that the engine runs better, when I use gasoline without ethanol.
