NoGas714 All-Star Author Indiana Posts:740 Points:752,000 Joined:May 2005	Message Posted: Jun 25, 2010 9:10:44 PM Ignore NoGas714 Report Abuse This is going to be overwhelmingly a regular gas response. Are we having a question shortage again? I'd love to answer Diesel, but for some reason beyond the scope of typing here, USA and Canada don't have many diesel vehicles available to them.

Oldlar Sophomore Author Florida Posts:161 Points:531,395 Joined:Oct 2006	Message Posted: Jun 25, 2010 5:55:09 PM Ignore Oldlar Report Abuse I normally use regular in three of my cars. One has a ZZ4 which uses premium. I've experimented using higher grade gas in my others and it didnot seem to give any improvements in mileage or perormance. I even tried some no ethanol gas, but at $3.19/gallon, a 60 cent premium just wasn't worth it.

I can use regular but it make it runs like an old dog. The other vehicles use regular with no problems.

RDasher Rookie Author Twin Cities Posts:72 Points:154,890 Joined:Apr 2005	Message Posted: Jun 25, 2010 1:58:48 PM Ignore RDasher Report Abuse I find it interesting that with 15,000 + responses E85 is at 0 percent. That is the amount it should be since it is a very bad purchase. Too expensive, lousy performance, and equally poor fuel economy. Next we need legislation to get rid of E10/E15/E20 which reduce economy / performance by the proportion of ethanol present. They might as well put in water.

notijeka Sophomore Author Oklahoma Posts:167 Points:1,542,670 Joined:Apr 2006	Message Posted: Jun 24, 2010 11:48:29 PM Ignore notijeka Report Abuse Im fortunate in that there are three stations in my area that sell "real" gas (NO ETHANOL) and I use it in all three of my vehicles. I definitly notice a drop in mpg when Im forced to buy ethanol fuel. Drove to Florida a month ago (from Okla) and I had an appreciable drop in mpg due to having to buy ethanol tainted fuel. So my vote is for No Ethanol Regular grade gasoline.
