Several local news stations have tested the effectiveness of
the alcohol
gas by filling up average cars and taking them to an
inspection
station. The 'oxygenated' gas always performs worse. Which
makes complete sense. If you carefully tune an engine to burn a
specific type of gas, it will be slightly out of tune for any
other.
Ernest this is EXACTLY what I would believe about the process. My car, EFI
and O2 sensor type ALWAYS gets better mileage on non-california fuels. This is
not a conjecture but rather carefully tested results on 3 different trips.
