Kinda hard to drive this car without any boost. It's one of the best parts of driving this car is having boost

My higest number from full tank reset to the low light come on was 309 Miles.
I don't baby it but I also don't boost it a lot. Just normal highway and some in-town traffics.

Gas Mileage difference with 20% ethanol added

Has anyone noticed a difference in their gas mileage using gas with ethanol added. The station I've used in dallas for the past 6 mos or so has 20 % ethanol added to their gas. I didn't think much about it until I filled up at another gas station that only uses "up to10% ethanol". Maybe I just haven't paid much attention, but I don't remember when my usual station switched to the 20 % blend. It could be all in my head but it seems I'm getting worse gas mileage than usual. I haven't made it through the tank of 10% ethanol yet so I'm not sure if the MPG will be better. Are there any gas stations not using any ethanol in the Dallas area? Anyone else noticed a difference or noticed a change in your car using gas/ethanol mix?

I have not check about gas mileage, but on my truck my check engine light came on recently when they switched to summer gas. I have not checked the codes yet but i wonder if the mix is causing the check engine light.

sorry mate i've only used 5%eth so far on my evo. still looking to see if there is a definate yes that i can use 10%eth +. so far i havent notice any major fuel consumption. even with 10%eth on my skyline i didnt notice much change, maybe slightly less but really hard to tell since my kms vary between 450-500km on a full 65lt tank.

I don't think we're supposed to use more than 10% ethanol in our cars.

I'm still only at 3/4 of a tank so far with the 10 % so I'm not sure yet as far as the mileage goes. I'll give an update in a week or so.
