NACS had live links to various ethanol blend/straight gas studies as recently as December. Have been digging around trying to find them and can't. Will share that I kept meticulous mileage/fuel consumption records, and my personal experience is the 2008 move away from straight gas to 10% blend produced a mpg decrease of 8% on every vehicle. Saw a drop of 1.2 mpg in Suburban, 1.48 drop in 4Runner, 1.05 in pickup, 1.9 in 530, 1.0 in Land Cruiser. I have posted on this a handful of times. Don't blame the retailer as UEM suggests. This is a result of yet another "we are soooo much smarter than you" policy adopted and implemented by the unelected, unaccountable lifers occupying positions at various federal agencies, and the current state of the economy where consumers will leave you for two cents per gallon, regardless of mpg gain. The nozzles at my stores are lifted and replaced a total of 2800 times each day. I've lost more customers to photo ID requirement for in store credit card buys than I have for blended fuel. That said, I wish I was in a position to offer straight gas as I would be my first customer.
