I have run into this several times in the past on different cars (ethanol affecting MPG). You don't notice it as much in most "normal" cars, but the more high performance the more you notice it. Just my experience.

Disparaging? Really? Not a subtle emphasis of the point of my post which was "perspective"? Last edited by ndj; 11-19-2012 at 03:21 AM.. |

The fact that 48 states manage to pump their own without any outcry to end the practice means that 2 states are doing nothing more than creating make-work, non-productive regulations that make no economic sense. That is also not debatable.

If it made economic sense, then why doesn't the government just dictate that more jobs be created. Doesn't matter if they are productive or needed, just pay people for showing up to their make-work jobs and like magic the unemployment rate goes down and the economy improves, right? Sorry, doesn't work like that.

You've also stated in a previous post that getting rid of full service would lower the price of gas and I agree that initially it would but eventually the price of gas would just return to the same prices (assuming that there are no other outside variables to influence a raise in the price) as full service due to the distributors raising the wholesale price. |

Just an update to my original post. Yesterday I filled up with Premium from my usual Hess station and I'm currently averaging 18.2 MPG, which is right around where I usually am. Pretty much confirms that there was something definetly up with the gas from the BP.

I'm surprised you were even able to get Premium. Even up to the end of last week many stations had nothing but regular. Every gas station that I went to said no premium. The refineries were hit pretty hard by the storm.
