Summer vsWinter Blend Gas Explained

Hey guys, I dont know about you, but I always wondered what the difference was between winter and summer blend. Popular Mechanics does a good job explaining it for us.

Winter blend is more volatile (evaporates more easily) which reduces problems with cold starting your vehicle.
