General Driving. No Interstates. Majority short trips of 55 miles or less. This MPG was on 100% non-ethanol fuel. Had to fill up with 10% ethanol this time due to 20 cents/gal lower price than non-ethanol @ Holtzman. Very disappointing MPG (40.3) result on this fuel-up.

Last full tank of 10% ethanol gas for trial. Lower MPG as expected but temperatures are also lower causing gasoline engine to run more often. Each full tank of 10% ethanol resulted in lower MPG. Filled with 100% gasoline (non ethanol) for remainder of winter season.
