5.09 for diesel at my pit stop- more elsewhere.
4.28? for wifey gas- more elsewhere

Arkansas is where I've seen the greatest spread between unleaded and truck diesel, $2.30/gallon. IIRC is was around $3.29 and $5.59. Absurd.

$2.89 is still $1.20 more than what I paid on Jan. 19, 2021. Filled up at $1.70, the day before biden took office, just to see how quick it would change. 7 days later it was $1.95, and in another 7 days, it was $2.12. This was 87 octane gasoline with up to 10% ethanol. Along with food prices and just about any other purchases.

If the price of anything isn't up, it's because someone is loosing their ass to keep it down. Biden screwed the entire supply side out of pure stupidity with zero gain for the country or the people.

Got fuel for the wife's little car this morning in Yuma AZ, #3.99 for regular, also saw $5.09 for diesel. Because they can, I think, just because they can.

Sheetz has their 15% corn juice 88 octane for $1.99/gal everywhere. That stuff gets the same MPG as any of the other ethanolized fuels in our vehicles, so I am happy. Impossible. Ethanol has lower BTU content than gasoline. Maybe you can't measure the difference. I'm sure you aren't scientifically doing it. Weighing the car to get the exact same amount of fuel every time. Driving the same route in the exact same conditions and driving exactly the same......... So your calculations don't show it. Ethanol can make more power out of a same engine. Ethanol brings some oxygen to the party. That extra oxygen can allow more fuel to be burned in a cylinder. Making more power. But. And a big BUTT. They key is "more fuel to be burned". Alcohol race engines will burn twice the volume of fuel that a gas engine uses. Carb jets are usually doubled as a starting place. Recently read a post of a guy claiming that gas gave him 3 mpg better in his pickup. Hmmmm. Yeah. E10 or E15 get the same MPG, or at least so close that it is a wash. E85 in our one FlexFuel vehicle gets 2 MPG less Ethanol Free gas gets 1-2 MPG more than E10 or E15 As is stated That stuff gets the same MPG as any of the other ethanolized fuels in our vehicles, so I am happy. And yeah, I know "ethanolized" probably isn't a real word...but you get the idea.
