Hold on, methanol has less energy than ethanol, you are way wrong on that! (Grumbles the farmer, who's had to fight these stereo-types for years... :) There is a bit less energy in ethanol than straight gas, but it also helps keep your fuel system clean, the air cleaner, adds oxygen to the combustion as well as a different more stable explosion. It's normal for the milage to drop a bit, but very little. It's possible if you have a lot of miles on your vehicle & never ran ethanol or a can of cleaner every now & then that this tankful flushed out all the gum & varnish & plugged up your filter/ injectors. Here in Minnesota, been running the 10% ethanol blend for many years. It's been mandated. Works fine. Really less problems this way than 'straight' gas. Only a few have problems that had dirty fuel systems to start with. Kind of a bogus 'problem', since previous dirty fuel is getting cleaned out of your system - not the ethanol's fault! --->Paul
