I drove from Las Vegas to LA. Checked my mileage - normal. Since then refuleled several times
in LA (Chevron). Consinstenly getting 15-20% less miles per gallon then in Nevada. Same driving. What is with LA gas? |

It's totally the ethanol I think
yeah yeah yeah a day late and a dollar short, but like the dude up there in Aloha Oregon says... we gotta live with it every winter. I noticed the drop around October IIRC. It's so backwards, ethanol has less emissions but you have to refill more frequently, isn't that just as or more harmful to the environment in the bigger picture? LAME! --------------------  |
