I believe it's around 20 cents Speed. I think I can handle that appx. $4 per fill-up.

If nonEgas was priced like that around here, I would still be running it.

Is your station in Smyrna on Enon Springs road. If it is I pass it once a week to go to Walmart.

I wonder why more stations do not offer the non ethanol gas. Is it because they feel the price difference would keep it from selling.

I thought the high price of corn would drive fuel prices up. If that is true, it strikes me that pure gas should be cheaper than Egas.

Ethanol can be manufactured from more than just Corn. Corn is just the most abundant source.

I'm getting 12.4 around town. Just filled up today, 81.2 miles, 6.581 gal @ $3.18. I'm leaving on a 1000 mile interstate trip from Louisville to S Fl on Sunday. I'll post what my highway mpg is. I've seen 20 but usually get 18-19 highway.

I think government subsidies has a lot to do with e-gas price too.

24L/100 km which is what, 11mpg'ish? I need toasty warm truck.+kids school is 3 min away. Used to get about 7-8mpg towing an 8x10 enclosed so this is an improvement.

I posted a conversion chart around here somewhere... lemme look...

Hmm. I see I didn't take it far enough!

Here's the new chart:

Today in Smyrna, TN the difference was 14 cents. 3.29 vs 3.15. Is non ethanol gas not legal to sell in some state?
