[QUOTE="UnleashedBeast, post: 10975217, member: 112023"] Ethanol decreases mileage. I was asking to see if the pumps where you buy 93 octane say "up to 10% ethanol content" on the pump. You could expect a 1-2 mpg decrease using ethanol blended fuel from 5-10%. SAE grade numbers posted on the outside of oil bottles are very misleading. The "winter" weight as the first number is sometimes called being the most misleading. Example: Amsoil 20W-50 is LESS viscous at 32*F (0*C) than Motorcraft 5W-50. Amsoil 10W-40 is MUCH LESS viscous at 32*F (0*C) than Amsoil 20W-50. [ATTACH=full]223656[/ATTACH] This is where you are gaining the mpg difference. I let cruise control do it's thing. My dad told me I shouldn't, but i still do. He always kept his foot consistent on the pedal and didn't increase throttle to stabilize speed on steeper up grades. [/QUOTE]
