- I missed the first part of this thread, so forgive me if this has
- been discussed. The oxygenated fuels are supposed to be better for emissions,
- but cause a loss in mileage. Does the emission improvemnet offset the
- gas mileage decrease? I guess what I am asking is what is the comparision
- between emissions/MILE of each of these fuels? This seems to be more
- pertinent than idle emissions for each.
