I've got to agree with Bill here. I used to frequently travel between
St. Louis and Rolla, MO, and my gas millage was consistently better if
I filled up in Rolla. My driving style and truck usage was the same
at both locations, so the only real difference I could find was the
10% ethanol used in the greater St. Louis area.
