On a trip from Austin to Santa Fe through Lubbock and Clovis I drove through some rural areas. I noticed that one tank of gas provided an increase in fuel economy of about a 10% MPG increase. It also seemed that my 2011 Ford Ranger with the V-6 had better performance too. On the return trip I noticed at one of the service stations that there was no decal or sticker saying the gasoline included 'up to 10% ethanol' as is posted on pumps in more populated areas. This is the first time I experienced using gasoline without ethanol. Seems the increased mileage and performance with the non-ethanol fuel makes up for whatever pollution the ethanol laced gas is trying to prevent.
