After carfull loging of info I find that going from Las Vegas gasahol to
Utah and Idaho regular gas I get 15% diference in mileage. 16.5 mpg in
NV, 20 mpg in Idaho. I do this trip 4 times a year and have good records
to prove it.
I have also been paying for a smog check on my 73 Ford, that still
passes CA standards and has no smog stufff on it. It is now $20.00 a
year for a truck that has never failed a smog check.
