With a nice 70* day, I took a long ride to run whatever that liquid is masquerading as gasoline OUT of my tank. Ran it till a few miles after the light came on and topped off with 4.3 gallons of fresh gas and made 39.2 MPG. Headed back towards home and put on another 82.7 miles before topping off with 1.99 gallons for 41.55 MPG. So maybe the warmer weather does effect it. I'm really curuios to see if it goes back to 43 or more with the summer blend. I think the ethanol is killing us.

I agree with the winter blended fuel being the problem. Makes a huge difference in all my rigs.
