My motor home lost an easy mpg on the ultra-low sulfur stuff. And I have
paid almost $1.00 gallon more for it than regular gasoline while traveling.

Subject: Re: Bad fuel economy (solution)

FWIW, I've seen (across 7 cars) a 10% reduction in fuel economy for the gas
with 10% alcohol.
Only in my camper was it a 20% reduction.
This evening I confirmed, that with 10% alcohol gas, the fuel economy is
only 11-12mpg, as opposed to 15-16mpg on pure gas.
