Didn't get that diesel toter home? This stinking E10 fuel many stations have around here is killing me with the motorhome. It has an 8.1L gas engine. I have screwed with the PCM until I got it up to 8 to 8.5 mpg towing at 70/75 mph. That E10 crap knocks it back down to 6 or 6.2 mpg. With Jeanie's Lexus it drops from 28 to 26 or 26.5 on E10. That is about 7%, but it's a 25% loss on the motorhome. Went to HRP at Baytown/Houston last weekend (don't ask) and everywhere I stopped in Texas the pumps had a sign saying "this fuel may contain 10% ethanol". From my mileage I'm gussing it all did.

Re: Gas Saver - Is this true?
Still too blind to tell when I'm ahead at the finish line. The bracket racing part sucks.
