Here in Oklahoma we generally have a choice, with non-alcoholic gasoline running about 8 -10 cents more per gallon than alcoholic for regular grade (87 octane hereabouts). When traveling I've found there is often no choice. I get a little poorer fuel mileage, but I can't tell that it's hurt the vehicle. David McNeely |
