usually a good combination, and nearly so for me today.
I fill up my drive to work car (1990 4Runner RV6) approximately monthly for my trip to work.
My partner gets the shakes towards the end of the month, when she sees the fuel gauge almost a quarter tank below empty...but the car will do 420km on a tank of premium every time.
Last tank was ethanol (10%), for a saving of 5c/litre over non blended.
3.75% less cost, 5.5% more fuel burned (close toe theory when you look at the stoichiometry, although the ethanol has a higher octane.
Ethanol used to make a little sense when fuel was around $1.00/litre. But the price gap has remained constant, while petrol has risen 30%
Tank before 413km, for 59.05 litres (6 left). Today, I was at 416km, and watched the bowser deliver 62.91l.
