Buy your fuel at Costco. It does not contain ethanol, and is refined from 100% Alaskan Crude. Hmmmm. Let's see. Nearest Costco is 50 miles, so 100 miles RT. Assuming I'm driving my Gasshawg 'Burban, I'm looking at maybe 16 mpg. At $3.15/gal, the drive there and back costs me just shy of $20. Gas tank on the 'Burban is 42 gallons. Assuming I save $0.10/gal, it still costs me around $16 to fill up with that non-ethanol sweet Alaskan crude sourced gasoline. I think I'll go to the Farmer's Co-Op instead. I can fill up my combine while I'm at it.
