Summer grade gas

[Cloud Strife]

Has anyone noticed whether summer grade is here yet? Because in Southern Ohio we are still using winter grade. I am just curious to know b/c isn't the price supposed to go up some when we hit summer?

I don't think that the winter grade has left us here in Maryland, but they are now selling our gas where I live with 10% ethanol mixed in.
I have noticed a drop in mileage with the mixed gas - about 17 MPG vs 19-20 normally.

It should be there within the next two weeks.

Go to a station with a lot of traffic so the tanks will be refilled constantly.

ethonal is a great filler for the statioins to use, it burns at a rate of 7:1 instead of 14:1 like gas, so they pump it with etho, which is half the price as gas, and get you to buy more because you go through more

Do they switch the gas down in Southern FL also or just leave it the same year round (because we don't really have a winter)

Yes, I believe all do.

i think it has. i've noticed an increase in mileage in my 95. also tried an acetone cycle and went up another mpg or so (tried it with winter gas and acetone had no effect). price went down for gas a few cents but i think its all a tease and will shoot up again.

Alcohol which is the realative difference between summer and winter gas completely counteracts the benefits of the acetone.

Summer gas is the only time of year to use it to lower combustion temperatures, reduce ping and advance the computer controlled timing.

nope, not illegal because alcohal displaces the water that you would get in the winter time and like zl1 said, that is why you dont wanna use e 85... unless youve not hugged a tree in a loong time
