Steve Smith, 48, talks with a reporter while fueling his car, Friday, Dec. 28, 2007, in Jefferson City, Mo. A new state law which takes effect Jan. 1, 2008, requires that gasoline sold in Missouri contain a 10 percent ethanol blend but many stations, such as this Break Time convenience store, are already selling the mixture.

(AP) -- Pushing the button for regular 87-grade octane, Steve Smith said he thought he was filling his SUV with ethanol-free gasoline. "I don't buy super unleaded, knowing that it's ethanol," Smith said, citing concerns about how ethanol could affect his vehicle.

Rank: 3.7 / 5 (3)
My mileage is about 13mpg on E-85 though, and about 16mpg on E-10. I fill up about the same number of times per week (every other day) - that's about the same as E-10.
For *ME*, as long as E-85 is at least $0.50/gallon cheaper than regular gasoline, I'm saving money. Of course, ethanol isn't only about saving money... It's about reducing our dependence on foreign oil, and promoting local fuel production. It's good for farmers too!
