Was your MPG better with No Ethanol 93?

I'm just short of 1000 miles on my Tacoma on the last tank. I averaged 19.7 with 87 with ethanol fuel. Thought I would try 93 no ethanol an see if it gets any better. What are your results?

 

You got 1000 miles out of one tank? Good job buddy

 

I wish! They filled it up when I left the Dealer. I forgot the mileage after I got home. I filled it up an created a Fuelly account.

 

I have wanted to test this for years but the closest ethanol free station is about an hour away.

 

I have put 91 no ethanol in a few times. have got 20 to 40 miles extra to a tank. once they stop using winter mix, i’ll do a few runs an really see what my MPG is with 87 ethanol/ 93/91 with ethanol and 91 no ethanol. All the wiggles around here have 91 with no ethanol.

 

No ethanol will increase MPGs but do not think you will see gains with higher octane. I ran a tank of 93 with ethanol and saw no gains.

 

I did a highway tank of 90 octane ethanol free that I run in my boat, I got the same mpgs as every other time I've done the trip with normal gas.

 

I run 87 octane and it works fine for me but I may try ethanol free gas one tank to see if there is any improvement.

 

Just did 21.7mpg over a 245mi stretch v6 auto trd off road dcsb w/ 5100mi all stock.... cruise set at 70mph

This is in cali... so gas is E10 and i run the cheap stuf ... 87octane.

 

+1

You will gain 4-7% with E0, but if you can get E0 87 that's your best choice.

 

I get a 10 to 15 percent increase in MPG with non-ethanol.

 

It will take more than one tank for the truck to re-calibrate itself for non ethanol. Mine usually takes three tanks.

 

I ran for about a year on only premium 10% ethanol from Costco.

For the last 3 months I have run only premium 0% ethanol. At about 6 months I'm going to see if fuelly tells me there is a sizable difference.

 

I get about 10% better mileage with 90 octane 0% ethanol. 87 octane contains 10% ethanol. Coincidence? Hmmm

 

I would think your wallet could tell you if there is a sizable difference.

 

I live in CA. As far as I know... ethanol is in ALL the gas here. Very rare to find a place that has gas without it.

 

Commiefornia problems. I have two stations within a few miles from my house that have pure gas. And yes I get an extra 1-2 MPG.

 

My best mileage has always been with non ethanol Shell V Power 91

 

yeah, unless you by fancy race fuel or find a place that sells specality gas all stuff in CA is E10... that stated... its been a BEAUTIFUL winter... been 75* and sunny since well like this time last year here in SoCal.
