Anyone using gas without the ethanol in it? I'm curious how much better gas mileage you get compared to the stuff we burn with like 10% or 5% ethanol.
Legislators have approved a bill by more than a 3-to-1 margin that would ban ethanol blends in Maine. I'm looking forward to it.

 

hmm, I wouldn't have seen that coming in Maine, well maybe in Aroostook County. Good for Maine, well played.

 

I never buy ethanol unless i have to. Most premium gas doesn't have much ethanol, here we can get gas without, but pay a premium for it. My car gets 5-7 miles per gallon better if i stay away from the alcohol. Never use anything but premium in the bike so don't know if it would get better mileage or not.

 

gas in Canada is pure gas. No ethanol in ours.

 

I run premium pure gas when ever I can get it. After the ECM calibrates to it I can feel the performance difference, the exhaust has a different odor to it and it averages about 3-4 mpg better then with the ethenol. I will run pure gas regular if I can't get the premium, it runs better on that then the corn gas. If you search "pure", there are many posts on this.

 

I thought only High test was ethanol free in Canada, unless you bought gas at Petro Canada?

 

There are places where you can buy ethanol mixed gas. But where I go there is no Ethanol in any of the pumps. I usually go to a Shell.

 

Good! Next trip to St John I will top off the tank. Thanks for the info!

 

My Fat Bob gets about 3% more out of a gallon of no corn gas. I use either and usually 87 octane.

 

I use premium in my tank, so I don't know the difference. Although when I've tried it in my cage, the gas mileage goes down considerably.
