    Non Ethanol vs. Ethanol will make a difference on MPG, but it usually is only marginal. It all comes down to cost. If I spend an extra $0.40 per/ gallon on fill up at 18 gallons that will be $7 dollars more so I better be getting more than 1 mpg better than standard with ethanol.

    many report that it runs smoother, yes. will you get more power on the stock tune, no. if you're tuned for premium, there's a lot of power to unlock in these V6s though

    i live in irvine california....our costco stations do have long lines anywhere from 10-15 in each of 6 lanes with 18 pumps.....it is a goat rodeo....but.....it has only taken me around 12 minutes when there are 10 cars in front of me........also costco has top tier gas 89 and 91 octane....and here it is 20 to 40 cents a gallon cheaper....I use shell a lot of the time but since i have the truck i have used costco for around 16,000 of the 21,000 miles on the truck with very good performance, i think it is good gas.....
