ptjones Posted January 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Well I dont think you can compare regular at one gas station with premium at another. Try a tank of regular at a Shell, the go back to the same station and try a tank of premium and see what you get. Also, if you only get 1-2mpg more with premium, it's not worth the money. Premium is minimal $0.20 more per gal than regular, and at 1-2mpg more you are only saving a cent or two per gallon. It's also well known that ethonol has a lower energy contant than gasoline and E10 gas will get lower mpgs than E0. This has been known for decaids.You need to work on your math skills about 8 cents now but use to be 15 cents a gallon. I'm waiting to hear how you do on a tank of Premium. I have tested gas from BJ's ,Pilot, Kroger and SAM's same results. Yes everyone knows that ethanol gets worse MPG's than gas. That is why I use ethanol free gas on my record runs, it's to expensive, more than a dollar more to use regularly, I get close to the MPG's with Premium. Tread centers must be well worn? At least on fronts?I got even wear at 50psi. for 65K miles and rotating every 10K miles. :) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
