My motor home lost an easy mpg on the ultra-low sulfur stuff. And I have paid almost $1.00 gallon more for it than regular gasoline while traveling.

Only in my camper was it a 20% reduction. This evening I confirmed, that with 10% alcohol gas, the fuel economy is only 11-12mpg, as opposed to 15-16mpg on pure gas.
