I got my best FE in recent memory when I filled up in Virgina. I drove down to DC and got my standard 42 MPG from Massachusetts gas. I had to fill up in Maryland on the way down, and drove around DC a bit, but then I topped off with Virginia gas on the way back and almost got a 600 mile tank out of it. They ought to ship some of that VA gas up here to New England.

But I know it's not the CAR. On a trip to Virginia two weeks ago, I got 40 MPG on the way down and 53 MPG on the way up. The difference? I completely empried the tank of Baltimore gasoline and filled up with Virginia gasoline.
Yeah... The Baltimore gasoline is some kind of ethanol blend that the HCH positively *hates*.
