So I usually get about 300 to 320 miles per tank. I do mostly highway driving. Get about 26mpg But I decided to conduct a little experiment, me and the family went to the newest buc-ees in ohio and I decided to fill up with their ethanol free gas
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I got almost 445 miles out of that tank of gas. So if anybody is considering does non ethanol fuel really make a difference? Yes, yes, it makes that much of a difference. And I have repeated it with consecutive results.. Just a FYI for anybody who is considering it. It's worth the extra dollar on fill up per gallon

Wow. You're getting like EV range from an EB.

My hybrid: 700 miles per tank routinely with 10% ethanol. (In mild weather.)

And ethanol free is more than a dollar extra per tankful. More like $5 or $6 more.

But up to you to decide what you like best.

Very odd,
On cheap regular ethanol gas I get 26-27 mpg and my tank range is always about 420 miles,

On flat interstate my tank range is about 495-510 miles with me doing the old school math and my dash showing me around 31-31.5 mpg.

Once in inner city Atlanta all day I showed a tank range of 330 miles, that’s about 22 mpg. I did not and never do use that stupid stop/start system,
That was forced on me as a default by some idiot at Ford.

That is awesome fuel mileage. Do you have an ecoboost Or a hybrid, and with mine being a tremor I have other variables that affect my fuel mileage as well
