Perhaps of interest to GMCers. If you're travelling on I - 65 just North of Montgomery, there's a station in MIllbrook on 143 which sells real gasoline. Large signs "No Ethanol In Our Gas'. Costs a dime a gallon over vino, $3.15 this last weekend. It's between exits 179 and 181, on the East side of I 65.
I put a tank full in my Grand Caraven, it took the computer a couple of miles to get the idea. Runs like a hotrod, 24MPG going home at 70 on cruise.

In town we have a card lock fuel station used primarily by truckers but also has a gas pump. Last saturday I was filling the royale before winter storage. Just happended that the fuel company was filling the gas tank. I asked the driver how much ethanol was in their fuel (says up to 10% on the pump). He said zero but maybe a couple times a year some is added but would be to small to notice. I fuel up all my vechiles there but did not pay much attention to performance as you get used to the way your vehicles run.
Every year we drive down to Florida, then I notice a big difference in performance. I just put it down to the 300 lbs. of the wifes luggage in the grand marquis. For some reason I find Florida the poorest quality but it could be my imagination. I'm very happy to have a local supply with no ethanol.

No, nio trip computer in this one. That's the result, after fill - up when I got there, and before I did anything off the freeway. It normally turns in 21 - 22 in that circumstance using vino gas. Would that the GMC would regularly do half that. The latest iteration of the 201 CID Mopar V-6 with the updated automatic is capable of decent mileage in the van. Assuming flat roads and not acting the fool with the foot-feed. Very few hills between Montgomery and Atlanta/
