15% ethanol gives us 4-5% less mileage and ruins our engines.

Quoted from chad:Most already know this...
Keep your tires properly inflated check once a month, higher mileage vehicles-throw a bottle of fuel injection cleaner in on a quarter tank , then fill up.
Fuel injection cleaner is not recommended and is a waste of money, use a good quality gasoline and change your filter once a year
Quoted from Crash:A lot of people say because pulling the ethanol out brings the octane from 87 down to around 83, that either premium or an octane booster is required after ethanol removal. But does this apply to small engines? Briggs and Stratton says 87 is a minimum. Obviously I want to avoid pinging/pre-detonation which would damage my push mower engine.
If you live near a small airport you can buy Av gas 100 octane and mix it with all your power equipment. I’ve been doing this for years and my equipment fires right up, I also mix a little In my old car for winter storage.
Quoted from RyanStl:What are thoughts on Sea Foam?
Never used it. Don’t know

Quoted from Irishbastard:I'm curious, do you actually change your fuel filter on your vehicle yearly? In my case, I'd be replacing the entire fuel pump assembly, as the filter is integrated within it, and not available separately. Acura has no replacement interval for a fuel filter in my vehicle. I've honestly never heard of anyone replacing their fuel filter annually, unless you run extremely low grade fuel.
I change this out every spring for around $9.00

Quoted from Genjuro:What you say is true. My old Evo had an e85 tune that was amazing.. unfortunately at the time the availability of e85 was nil in my area.
The high compression ratio took advantage of the high octane really well, and as long as the e85 blend dropped during the cold season, you would have no starting issues due to the lower RVP of ethanol.
Btw, my comment you quoted was actually in regards to small engines in lawn mowers, etc.. people have been brainwashed in the US by their redneck small engine shopes, which have been indoctrinated by the API against ethanol so they can sell them expensive "true fuel" at absurd price per gallon with incredibly high margin.
So Rednecks that have been indoctrinated are the cause of high prices? Yea ok

Quoted from MtnFrost:Never liked paddle shifters. Too "Apple-ish"? Anyway, it's after the elections, inflation is falling, and the gas prices in CO remain constant at around 3.19.
Inflation is falling? This is why you have no credibility here.

Quoted from poppapin:Guess prices will soar with slowdown of OPEC production.

Yesterday the President said “it’s not going to be as bad as you think.
Translation: Prepare for high gas prices and energy costs!
Quoted from mrm_4:"it'll just be a little bit bad... Look we know paying $7 a gallon is hard on the wallet, but if all you poor people just bought $50k EVs youd be fine!"
$8-$9 by Labor Day

Quoted from Atari_Daze:I wonder what the lines were like to save 4 - 8 bucks?
Most would pay $4 bucks not to go to Circle K
Quoted from mcluvin:It's not necessarily the most pleasant shopping experience, but Circle K saves me a lot of money. $5 per gallon in AZ. Damn! No wonder everyone is moving to Florida.
Gas used to be cheap here but not anymore.

Quoted from HobbyGuy:I feel like gas prices are back in line with where they have been before COVID, to back around 2018-ish. That, and we're exporting more oil than any OPEC country other than the Saudis. I don't expect it to keep falling, but start averaging back on whatever long term trend it was on. Happy it's gone done, regardless.
I just paid $6.00 a gallon before leaving hotel California last week.
