- I too have sufferd from lower gas mileage due to this nonsense.
- I filled my tank in N.J. for a trip down South to V.A. for Xmas.
- Before I was out of Maryland on Rt 13 I had to fill up again so
- I would not be stranded on Rt 13 on Xmas eve. (If you have ever
- traveled on Rt13 you know what I am talking about :) ) Anyway
- the trip is about 350 miles. When I filled up in Hampton V.A.
- for the trip back I made it all the way to Easton, P.A. and my
- wife had gas to go to work the next morning whis is 50 miles one way.
- She had to fill on the way home but she got there none the less.
- That's about 400 miles on one tank ON THE WAY BACK with NON-OXENGENATED
- fuel. I don't think the fuel in P.A. is oxygenated but it sure is in N.J.!!
