A few years ago, I finally drew out on my desert bighorn sheep permit and because it was in the Zion unit, I felt my old truck wasn't up to the task of driving back and forth to Southern Utah. So I bought a new to me truck and it got terrible gas mileage 10 mpg. I started off with the normal issues air filter, tire pressure, I saw some slight improvement but not much. Then a friend told me about using EFG, and my gas mileage jumped to 16 mph, I was totally amazed but I wasn't convinced, so I went back to ethanol gas and my gas mileage dropped to what it was before. Now, when I take to the road in my truck, L only use EFG. Same i my boat and even my lawn mower. I haven't tried it in my car because it gets around 40 mpg but maybe I should try it once to see if it helps. You are right, it shouldn't be over 10 cents a gallon more, IMO 30 cents a gallon more, is outrageous.
Too bad ethanol free gas SHOULD only cost 10 cents more per gallon.
